ThinMan Login enhances device security by managing access and ensuring that only authorized users or groups can log in. The ThinMan server functions as an intermediary between the device and the Active Directory during the login process.
This feature is included with Feature Pack User+ license.
When a user attempts to log in, the device will prompt for credentials. The login and password can match those used in the Active Directory.
