Switching to Application Authentication

Important! For SFA Cloud customers, only the Application Authentication Security Mode is supported. Although the Windows Authentication option may still appear in the interface, it is not functional within the SFA Cloud environment.

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.
