GUI Server Security Model

One of the most significant advantages between the Querix gui application server and other gui application servers is the ability for a client to authenticate to the server. The server process runs as the user that has actually connected to the server rather than the traditional model, where the server processes were executed within the same user context as the service itself. To allow us to achieve this, the new listener introduces three types of authentication: none (classic), basic and full.

When the GUI server is operating in full authentication mode, the client must specify a username and password. The server will then use a choice of authentication methods including PAM and Windows Active Directory Authentication.
