Setting a User’sLogin Credentials
The Login section specifies the credentials the user uses to log in to Web TimeSheet. Configure this section

1. If available, choose the Authentication Type for the user, if applicable
•

and password to log in to Web TimeSheet.
•

Choose this option if the user is using SAML authentication.
2. Enter or modify the user'sLogin Name, as follows:
•
If the user is using a login name and password specific to Web TimeSheet, enter any login
name that has not already been used in the system.
•
If the user is using Windows NT authentication or Integrated Windows Authentication is
enabled, enter their Windows login name.
•
If the user is using Active Directory authentication, enter their userPrincipleName or
sAMAccountName, as defined in the Active Directory system.
•
If the user is using SAML authentication, enter their SAML login name.
3. Enter or modify the user'sPassword or Domain, as follows:
Web TimeSheet supports Integrated Windows Authentication, which allows users to bypass
the login page using their Windows credentials. For more information on enabling Integrated
Windows Authentication for all users, see the Web TimeSheet Installation Guide.
Web TimeSheet uses the value entered in the Login Name field to determine whether Win-
dows NT or Active Directory authentication is being used. If you enter a name that includes a
domain, such as sally@company.com, Web TimeSheet will assume that Active Directory
authentication is being used. In this case, the Domain field will automatically be filled based
on the login name entered.
