Configuring a web browser for Integrated Windows Authentication

Integrated Windows Authentication is possible if you access the backup console from a machine running Windows and any supported browser.

We recommend configuring your web browser for Integrated Windows Authentication. Otherwise, the browser will ask for a user name and password.

Configuring Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Google Chrome

If the machine running the browser is in the same Active Directory domain as the machine running the management server, add the console's login page to the list of Local intranet sites.

Otherwise, add the console's login page to the list of Trusted sites and enable the Automatic logon with current user name and password setting.

The step-by-step instructions are provided later in this section. Because these browsers use Windows settings, it is also possible to configure them by using Group Policy in an Active Directory domain.
