|

The **Username and password** mechanism requires a manually-defined username and
|
||||
password. These get passed directly to the backend.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Session credentials** mechanism uses the ownCloud login credentials of the
|
||||
user to connect to the storage. These are not stored anywhere on the server,
|
||||
but rather in the user session, giving increased security. The drawback is that
|
||||
sharing is disabled when this mechanism is in use, as ownCloud has no access
|
||||
to the storage credentials and so other users cannot use it.
|
||||
The **Log-in credentials, save in session** mechanism uses the ownCloud login
|
||||
credentials of the user to connect to the storage. These are not stored anywhere
|
||||
on the server, but rather in the user session, giving increased security. The
|
||||
drawbacks are that sharing is disabled when this mechanism is in use, as
|
||||
ownCloud has no access to the storage credentials, and background file scanning
|
||||
does not work.

When you select an authentication mechanism, the configuration

fields change as appropriate for the mechanism. Some backends are not yet

When you select an authentication mechanism, the configuration fields change as

**username and password**, **Log-in credentials, save in session**, and **RSA

public key**.
