Authentication Realm

The Authentication Realm defines the type of access authentication used when a user logs in to Cacti. There are three different options available:

• Local
• LDAP
• Web-Basic

The Local Realm uses the built-in authentication from Cacti. LDAP Authentication can authenticate users against any LDAP server, including Active Directory servers. Web-Basic authentication is handled by the web server itself (for example, using .htaccess files).
