Enable Pass-Through Authentication - This allows domain authentication to be used for logging in to EmpowerID. Unless Simple Search is enabled, the domain\username format needs to be used.
...
Enable Simple Username Search for Pass-Through Authentication - Simple search works in conjunction with pass-through authentication to allow users to log in without specifying a domain name. When this is enabled, EmpowerID first checks to see if the user name entered exists within its metadirectory and if so attempts to authenticate as that user. If a matching logon name exists but the login fails, EmpowerID then searches through all Accounts Stores where simple username search is enabled to find the correct user name and password combination. To enable this function, click the Enable Simple Username Search button to the left of the line and toggle it so that the green check is visible.
...
Allow Password Sync - Enables or disables the synchronization of password changes to user accounts in the domain based on password changes for the owning person object or another account owned by the person. This setting does not prevent password changes by users running the reset user account password workflows. To enable this function, click the Allow Password Sync button to the left of the line and toggle it so that the green check is visible.
