There are also other versions of this article available:
Reference8 (this version) | Reference10
Applies to
All devices with firmware version 8 and above.
Overview
In older firmware versions each device has its own administrator/viewer accounts. This is a problem in big installations where you want to keep all admin passwords in sync.
In version 8 additionally 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 setup the authentication server to accept user accounts from a Windows domain.
