Reviewing AR System server external authentication settings and configuring group mapping

     For example:
    http://midTier:8080/arsys
  2. Open the AR System Administration Console.
  3. Open the Server Information window by selecting System > General > Server Information.
  4. Click the EA tab

  6. Verify that Authenticate Unregistered Users is selected.
