Last published at: November 12th, 2026

FlowWright supports Windows authentication providers for authenticating users from a single domain or multiple domains.

Navigate to the “Administration > Authentication” page and select the “Authentication Connections > Providers” menu option. 

 

The page lists the authentication providers, as shown in the example below. The page sorts Authentication Providers by Name and includes columns for type, namespace, DLL path, and verification status. Use the “Search” text box to filter the results. 

 

On the Authentication Provider page, select the “Actions > Create” menu option. 

 

Enter an Auth Connection name, description, type, namespace, and DLL path as shown below. Click “Validate” to verify the configuration values, then click “Create/Update” to save the changes. A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

 

As an Admin User, create the Windows Authentication Connection definition in FlowWright.

On the Authentication Connections page, select the “Actions > Create” option. 

 

Provide an Auth Connection name and description, select the “Windows Auth” provider from the drop-down list, and enter the Auth Key. Specify the Windows Active Directory domain against which authentication is performed, if required by the provider implementation. Choose an image file for the connection icon. Click the “Create” button. 

 

The new Auth Connection is created, and a confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

 

As an Admin User, create the Login UI Auth Connection to provide a login interface for the FlowWright application. 

On the Authentication Connections page, select the “Actions > Login UI Auth Connections” menu option.

 

The Configure Login UI Authentication Connections page is shown below. In the drop-down list, you can select which authentication connections to include or exclude from the user interface. The table below lists active Auth Connections. 

 

Use the drop-down list to select 'Login UI Auth Connections' by checking the corresponding boxes. You may also remove login options by unchecking their boxes. A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner.   

 

The Login UI Auth Connections that enable Windows Authentication are shown below. You may use the arrow keys to rearrange the order of the connections.  

 

Log in to the FlowWright application again to experience the new Login UI and Auth Connections.
