Description

There are no independent section for basic security features such as authentication and group mapping in the user documentation, though there are sections for "Service Level Authorization" and "HTTP Authentication".
Creating independent section for authentication and moving contents about secure cluster currently residing in "Cluster Setup" section could be good starting point.
