Is Active Directory required to support User Authentication?
Active Directory is not required for user authentication, and you can locally authenticate on a network without a domain controller by simply defining users and groups on the NetModem Server PC. NetModem Server also supports multiple Active Directory controllers and NT4 domain controllers. NetModem Server allows each pool of modems be individually configured for user authentication. If user authentication is enabled for a pool, only the users and groups defined in that pool properties access list will be given access.
