Options d’authentification (Édition Entreprise)¶
In ownCloud 9.0+, there are five authentication backends for external storage mounts:
- Username and password
 - Log-in credentials, save in session
 - Log-in credentials, save in database
 - User entered, store in database
 - Global credentials
 
The first two are common to all editions of ownCloud, and the last three are only in the Enterprise edition. These are available to:
- FTP
 - ownCloud
 - SFTP
 - SMB/CIFS
 - WebDAV
 - Windows Network Drive
 
- Username and password
 - This is the default; a login entered by the admin when the external mount is created. The login is stored in the database, which allows sharing, and background jobs, such as file scanning, to operate.
 - Log-in credentials, save in session
 - Credentials are only stored in the session and not captured in the database. Files cannot be shared, as credentials are not stored.
 - Log-in credentials, save in database
 - Credentials are stored in the database, and files can be shared.
 - User entered, store in database
 - Users provide their own login credentials, rather than using admin-supplied credentials. User credentials are stored in the database, and files can be shared.
 - Global credentials
 - Re-usable credentials entered by the admin, files can be shared.
 
Global credentials are entered in a separate form.
Use the dropdown selector to choose the authentication backend when you create a new external mount.
