Chapter 5
Authentication
An authentication subsystem has been integrated into the version 2.50 of the REX Control System. Users, roles and permissions of the roles are defined by the authentication subsystem. The authentication subsystem may also be attached to standard accounts from passwd/shadow files in the GNU/Linux environment. An engine for PAM and LDAP authentication mechanisms is planned but not yet supported.
User accounts and roles are fixed in the version 2.50. A configuration interface will be added into RexDraw and RexView in a next service release.
