Telligent Analytics supports three configurations for membership and Web site security. Permissions are specified in the web.config file, which is located in the Web directory.
By default, Telligent Analytics uses the Web.config file to determine your membership settings. The default Web.config file is set up so that all users (including anonymous users) have permission to log into the Web site unless they are restricted in the DNS. However, Telligent Analytics also provides you with preconfigured configuration files for shared membership and Windows authentication. These are:

  • Web.SharedMembership.config

  • Web.WindowsAuth.config

Using one of these configuration files, you can modify the configuration file to support different membership settings.

Forms authentication

The default Web.config file usings a forms configuration. The default Web.config file contains the default membership site permission. You can change the user roles and permissions in the Web.config or admin Web.config file (located in the Web.config directory).

The default username and password are admin/admin.

Windows authentication

Windows authentication allows users in the Administrators group of your Windows domain to access the Settings page, which contains the Telligent Analytics Control Panel. An administrator can promote users who are not in the Windows Administrators group that accesses the Settings page and assign a user to the Harvest Administrator role.

You can also specify a Windows domain group other than Administrators as the default group for allowing access into Settings by modifying the file. In the Web.config file, under Settings, locate the following line:

add key="DomainAdministratorGroup" value="Administrators" />

You can modify this line to specify a different Windows domain group.
