Simplified users authentication

From version 3.1, a simplified mechanism for user’s authentication can be used – authentication via database (as opposite to windows based authentication)

Connection string for such an authentication would be like the following:

server=<serverName>;user=<username>;password=<password>;

A Database configuration UI is provided to help with Eloquera.config configuration.

Note: Version 3.1 supports the security information and authentication for single user only, though number of connections using the same user login details is unlimited.

Tests show that using the database authentication provides better performance compared to the Windows authentication within the workgroup. The performance information in case of the Windows Active Directory authentication heavily depends on the network’s configuration, and therefore tests cannot provide a valid comparison.
