Warning

Note

By default, administrator credentials are stored in a local file within the Console Management configuration. There is support for authenticating administrator accounts against enterprise user databases such as, Active Directory. Setting this up is a sizable task, see LDAP-Authentication-for-Console-Management-Administrators for details.
