What does Milestone recommend for workgroup installations to avoid authentication issues?

Milestone recommends creating identical user accounts for all servers in workgroup installations to avoid authentication issues. This approach ensures that each server recognizes the same set of credentials for users, which minimizes complications that may arise due to different user accounts across servers. When using multiple servers in a workgroup environment, having consistent user account information can streamline access management and reduce the likelihood of authentication failures when users attempt to connect to different servers.

In a workgroup setup, servers do not share a centralized authentication mechanism as they would in a domain environment, making identical user accounts crucial for seamless access. By ensuring that all servers have the same user accounts, you can facilitate easier communication and access control across the network, promoting a more efficient operational workflow.

Other strategies, such as using a central authentication server or upgrading to a domain installation, may address some authentication issues but are not always feasible in every workgroup scenario. Creating identical user accounts directly addresses the problem of user recognition across multiple servers without necessitating additional infrastructure changes.
