  3. Log out of the EmpowerID Web interface and navigate your browser to the domain name you configured for Windows auth.

  4. When prompted, enter your Windows credentials and then click OK.

Info

If you chose to give users accessing your portal the ability to log in using their EmpowerID accounts (or any other account) and you did not create an IP Address Range, they will be directed to the login page, where they could select a different login option. In this article, Windows Auth is the only login option for the portal so users will simply be prompted for their Windows credentials.

 Depending on your organizational policy for browser settings, after their first login, users may or may not be prompted for credentials.
