WinGate needs a user database in order to be able to provide user-level security etc. In cases where the operating system that WinGate is installed on does not have a user database, WinGate has its own one. Alternatively if the OS WinGate is installed on does have a user database, or is part of a domain or Active Directory, then WinGate can synchronise and authenticate against that OS user database. This saves system administrators the pain of replicating the existing user databases on the network.
