# Authentication Options

You can choose between file-based and LDAP user authentication.

File-Based Authentication
This method authenticates a user against user data stored in a file-based repository. This method is not recommended for production purposes. In file-based authentication, define a list of user names, passwords, and roles in the file (default) `users.pwd` file. This file is commonly referred to as the password file.
LDAP Authentication
This method authenticates users against a directory server using LDAP as a protocol. TIBCO BusinessEvents applications can leverage this information to authenticate users. The role information is configured through an LDAP attribute like the `nsroledn` attribute in Oracle Directory Server. The LDAP attribute differs in different directory server products. The details of configuring LDAP authentication are beyond the scope of this documentation. Consult your LDAP product documentation.
To use LDAP authentication, add roles, MM_ADMINISTRATOR and MM_USER in the LDAP directory for the relevant users.
Note:

- MM_ADMINISTRATOR: Users with this role can execute methods, for example, to deploy, start, and stop engines, and invoke method operations.
- MM_USER: Users with this role can view MM Console, but cannot deploy, start, or stop engines, or invoke method operations.

## Authentication In Various Components

Authentication is used in components of various TIBCO BusinessEvents products:

TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager RMS Component
File-based authentication is enabled by default for the TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager RMS component and LDAP authentication is supported.
This component also uses authorization. Authorization details are provided in Access Control Configuration.
