Be aware:

Always create a backup of the file before the file is being edited!

 

In order to edit the file, open it in any text editor (for example Notepad, Notepad++, WordPad, etc.).

 

Search for the <authentication> section. It will look as follows:

 

<authentication mode="Forms">

   <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" timeout="2880" cookieless="UseCookies" />

</authentication>

 

Change it as follows:

<authentication mode="Windows">

</authentication>

 

Step 2: Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

Go to the IIS Manager. If RayFlow has been installed with the default .msi settings it should be looking as shown below:

 

InternetInformationServicesManager

 

Open the Authentication settings by clicking on the Authentication button.

 

IIS_Authentication

 

Enable the Windows authentication by selecting the Windows Authentication entry and clicking on Enabled. It should now look as shown below.

 

IIS_AuthenticationSettings

 

Revert to Old Login

In order to switch back to the old login page, just revert the changes made in the web.config file.

 

Login with Other Users

In order to log in with other users (like the default root or the default Admin account), first log in with using Windows Authentication. Then log out again. It will now be possible to log in as previously using the default web form.
