Applies to
All devices with firmware version 8 and later.
Overview
Each device has its own administrator/viewer accounts.
In version 8 and later a single device can act as an authentication server for the rest of the devices. User accounts that are managed on the authentication server can be used to login on each device in the installation. You can also configure devices to accept user accounts from a Windows domain.
Security considerations

As HTTP basic authentication transmits plaintext passwords, the use of HTTPS is mandatory. Please disable normal HTTP access to the devices or enable "Force HTTPS".
