Setting different authentication methods and user directories for sites

You can configure the sites in your implementation to use different authentication methods and, if necessary, different user directories.

Before you begin

You have created the sites; for instructions, see Creating sites.

For general information about sites, see Sites.

On any server computer in the implementation, open a command line as an administrator and export the active configuration by using the export-config command. For additional information on using the command line, see Executing commands on the command line.
To set different authentication methods, do the following:
1. To set the global authentication method, run the config-auth command without specifying a site.
2. To set a different authentication method for a site, run the config-auth command, specifying the site.
Example
In this example, all of the sites will use LDAP authentication except for the "Tokyo" site, which will use Kerberos.
```
config config-auth -a BASIC -l
```
```
config config-auth -a KERBEROS -s Tokyo
```
If all the sites will not use the same user directory, run the config-userdir command in a similar manner.
Import the configuration file by using the import-config command.
Restart the servers to apply the new configuration.
