Axia 3002-00086-000 Pathfinder Core PRO External Authentication Feature

Enable Secure User Login with LDAP Authentication for Pathfinder

The Axia 3002-00086-000 External Authentication Feature adds LDAP-based login support to your Pathfinder Core PRO system. This license allows Pathfinder to integrate with standard external authentication services, including Microsoft Active Directory. By using your organization's existing LDAP server, you can centralize access management, simplify user control, and strengthen security across all Pathfinder web interfaces.

Support for Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP Servers

This feature is designed to work with industry-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) systems, including Microsoft Active Directory. By connecting Pathfinder Core PRO to your directory server, you gain seamless user authentication and authorization without requiring a separate set of Pathfinder-specific login credentials.

Assign Roles and Permissions Based on LDAP Groups

User roles can be configured directly within Pathfinder and mapped to specific groups on your LDAP server. This mapping allows IT administrators to assign or revoke Pathfinder access through existing directory group membership—eliminating the need to manually manage user rights within Pathfinder itself.

Streamline Login Processes Across Networked Environments

When users attempt to log into Pathfinder via its web interface, authentication requests are automatically sent to the LDAP server. This provides consistent, real-time authorization across the network. If a user belongs to a designated group, they gain access based on their role assignment in Pathfinder. If not, access is denied—no manual intervention required.

Improve Network Security and Centralize Credential Management

By consolidating user authentication within your existing LDAP infrastructure, you reduce the risk of credential sprawl and simplify password management. This approach improves auditability, ensures compliance with organizational IT policies, and limits access to critical control systems like Pathfinder to only authorized users.

Ideal for Multi-User Broadcast Facilities and IT-Controlled Networks

Large media organizations, broadcast operations centers, and enterprise environments benefit most from this feature. It gives technical teams precise control over who can access Pathfinder Core PRO’s tools and monitoring dashboards—making it easier to manage permissions in high-traffic, multi-user setups.

Permanent Software License for Long-Term Control

This is a one-time software license that permanently enables external authentication functionality within Pathfinder Core PRO. Once applied, it remains active across all future software updates, giving your network team reliable, long-term access control capabilities without recurring fees.
