Configuring Security for Cache

Security for cache can be configured on following ways:

Using NCache Manager

• Security Credentials dialog will open.

  

• Provide the valid credentials for your active directory like name of Domain Controller, Port (optional), User Name and Password.

  

• Verify the credentials using Verify Credentials button. It will prompt success or failure message in case of success or failed verification of credentials successfully.

  

• Click OK if credentials are successfully verified.
