Authentication

Image Added

By default, credentials are managed via the local authentication mechanism provided by 6connect.

Depending on the authentication method chosen by your organization, there may be a separate authentication to login or logout of the application via the drop down menu. 

Four non-local authentication types are available for ProVision: Radius, LDAP, SAML, and DUO Mobile. Settings for these authentication types may be entered from the "Authentication" sub-tab at the top of the Admin Settings page.

titleChange Order of Login Menu Dropdown

The drop down menu defaults to "local" - if you are using another authentication method, you can use the following to change the default ordering and improve usability.

In the file data/globals.php, add a line:

Code Block
define('DEFAULT_LOGIN_TYPE', 'ldap');

Acceptable values instead of 'ldap' are 'local', 'radius' and 'ldapsaml'.
