Account based system user

Credentials

The authentication module uses the Active Directory login data of the user currently logged in on the workstation.

Prerequisites
  • The system user with permissions exists in the One Identity Manager database.
  • Permitted logins are entered in the system user's master data. The logins are expected in the form: domain\user.

Set as default

No

Single sign-on

Yes

Front-end login allowed

Yes

Web Portal login allowed

No

Remarks

All system user logins saved in the One Identity Manager database are found. The system user whose login data matches that of the current user is used for logging in.

The user interface and the write permissions are loaded through the system user.

Data modifications are attributed to the current user account.

Active Directory user account

NOTE: This authentication module is available if the Active Directory Module is installed.

Credentials

The authentication module uses the Active Directory login data of the user currently logged in on the workstation.

Prerequisites
  • The system user with permissions exists in the One Identity Manager database.
  • The employee exists in the One Identity Manager database.
  • The system user is entered in the employee's master data.
  • The Active Directory user account exists in the One Identity Manager database and the employee is entered in the user account's master data.

Set as default

Yes

Single sign-on

Yes

Front-end login allowed

Yes

Web Portal login allowed

Yes

Remarks

The appropriate user account is found in the One Identity Manager database through the user's SID and the domain given at login. One Identity Manager determines which employee is assigned to the user account.

If an employee has more than one identity, the QER | Person | MasterIdentity | UseMasterForAuthentication configuration parameter controls which employee identity is used for authentication.

  • If this configuration parameter is set, the employee’s main identity is used for authentication.
  • If the parameter is not set, the employee’s subidentity is used for authentication.

The user interface and access permissions are loaded through the system user that is directly assigned to the employee found. If a system user is not assigned to the employee, the system user from the SysConfig | Logon | DefaultUser configuration parameter is used.

Data modifications are attributed to the current user account.

NOTE: If the Connect automatically option is set, authentication is no longer necessary for subsequent logins.

Active Directory user account (role-based)

NOTE: This authentication module is available if the Active Directory Module is installed.

Credentials

The authentication module uses the Active Directory login data of the user currently logged in on the workstation.

Prerequisites
  • The employee exists in the One Identity Manager database.
  • The employee is assigned at least one application role.
  • The Active Directory user account exists in the One Identity Manager database and the employee is entered in the user account's master data.

Set as default

Yes

Single sign-on

Yes

Front-end login allowed

Web Portal login allowed

Yes

Remarks

The appropriate user account is found in the One Identity Manager database through the user's SID and the domain given at login. One Identity Manager determines which employee is assigned to the user account.

If an employee has more than one identity, the QER | Person | MasterIdentity | UseMasterForAuthentication configuration parameter controls which employee identity is used for authentication.

  • If this configuration parameter is set, the employee’s main identity is used for authentication.
  • If the parameter is not set, the employee’s subidentity is used for authentication.

A dynamic system user determined from the employee's application roles. The user interface and the write permissions are loaded through this system user.

Data modifications are attributed to the current user account.

NOTE: If the Connect automatically option is set, authentication is no longer necessary for subsequent logins.

Active Directory user account (manual input)

NOTE: This authentication module is available if the module Active Directory Module is installed.

Credentials

Login name and password for registering with Active Directory. You do not have to enter the domain.

Prerequisites
  • The employee exists in the One Identity Manager database.
  • The Active Directory user account exists in the One Identity Manager database and the employee is entered in the user account's master data.
  • Domains permitted for login are entered in the TargetSystem | ADS | AuthenticationDomains configuration parameter.
  • The configuration data for dynamically determining the system user is defined in the application. Thus, an employee can, for example, be assigned a system user dynamically depending on their department membership.

Set as default

No

Single sign-on

No

Front-end login allowed

Yes

Web Portal login allowed

Yes

Remarks

The user‘s identity is determined from a predefined list of permitted Active Directory domains. The corresponding user account and employee are determined in the One Identity Manager database, which the user account is assigned to.

If an employee has more than one identity, the QER | Person | MasterIdentity | UseMasterForAuthentication configuration parameter controls which employee identity is used for authentication.

  • If this configuration parameter is set, the employee’s main identity is used for authentication.
  • If the parameter is not set, the employee’s subidentity is used for authentication.

The application configuration data is used to determine a system user, which is automatically assigned to the employee. The user interface and write permissions are loaded through the system user that is dynamically assigned to the logged in employee.

Data modifications are attributed to the current user account.
