Switching to Application Authentication

You have two options for how the application handles the rules regarding your user name and password:

  • Windows Authentication (recommended)
  • Application Authentication.

We recommend using Windows Authentication because your network administrator can establish stricter password rules, and therefore your data is more secure. For more information, see Selecting a Security Mode.

However, if you currently are using Windows Authentication and you want to switch to Application Authentication, follow the steps below.

To switch to Application Authentication
  1. Select File/Password Security/Supervisor from the menu bar. The Supervisor window appears.
  2. In the Security Mode field, select the Application Authentication option.
  3. Select OK to close the Supervisor window.

Note: When switching from Windows Authentication to Application Authentication, the user names remain the same and the Sage Fixed Assets system password is set to the user name.
