How Do I Enable and Configure Windows Authentication?

Windows Authentication

Windows Authentication allows a user to log on to MIP Fund Accounting using their existing Windows network user account.

Windows Authentication is automatically enabled and required with the Private Cloud environment; therefore, the Use Windows Authentication check box is not available. See Nonprofit Online.

Once you elect to use Windows Authentication, you can:

  • Have single log on capabilities which allow you to log on to the workstation using a Windows network user name and password, then have access to the MIP Fund Accounting system without having to log on again
  • Open MIP Fund Accounting using the default Organization database or the last database logged on
  • Use File>Open Organization to access other Organization databases or log on using a different Windows user name and password
  • Import and use Windows network user names and passwords for MIP Fund Accounting users
  • Import Windows users individually or by group into the MIP Fund Accounting system. It is important to set up your Executive View users in Windows and import them into the system.

Note: If the Use Windows Authentication check box is cleared (on the System Preferences form), the Windows network user names remain valid; however, all user passwords are set to A6i1a_MIP (capital A, number six, lower-case i, number one, lower-case a, underscore, all caps MIP), with the exception of User "Admin."
