Using Authentication Type HTTP it is possible to store the user accounts into your WebOffice usermanagement rights repository. User login will be passed in HTTP parameter.

Recommended scenarios for this authentication type are:

•Implementing public (no login required) internet region portals with different user roles representing different parts (e.g., communities within the region).

Note: The authentication type HTTP does not use the WebOffice login dialog. The authentication is realized via the transfer of user credentials via HTTP or POST requests. A general comparison of the common authentication methods in WebOffice 10.8 SP2 can be found in chapter Overview of authentication methods.

Portal	Defines the address of the portal login site. There, the user has to log-in first before starting WebOffice 10.8 SP2 in the browser.

Use user roles only?	Use role based information from authentication system (GET Parameter "roles", comma separated value). No storage and maintenance of user objects in the UserManagement database is necessary then. Otherwise the GET parameter "user" identifies the user.
