Overview

AIE uses authentication providers to authenticate users and associate those users to certain groups.  AIE Web Application (webapp) Security uses these principals for authentication and authorization.  The most used authentication providers are the Active Directory Authentication Provider, the LDAP Authentication Provider and the XML Authentication Provider.  

If Content Security is also being used, then those principals must also be ingested to the main index using either the Active Directory Principal Scanner, the LDAP Principal Scanner or the XML Principal Scanner. 

If role-based authorization security is also being used, like Business Center have, then those principals must also be ingested to the aieprincipals index for proper role handling, using the ingestAiePrincipals workflow, as described in the Active Directory Principal Scanner, the LDAP Principal Scanner or the XML Principal Scanner.
