Authentication system

Note: This parameter is required unless Allow manual Log-on is True.

The authentication system determines which parameters are required to authenticate users. Most authentication systems require a user name and password. But some (for example, Windows) do not require a user name. Others require parameters in addition to the user name and password. In these cases, the additional parameters are specified in the Extended Log-on Parameter field.

In summary:

  • Basic authentication requires a user name (loginName) and password (loginPW).
  • Windows authentication requires no parameters.
  • OA Framework authentication requires the extended log on parameter.

OA Framework provides a connection to external authentication systems. Contact the vendor of the authentication system for information on what parameters are required.

In the DirectLink URL, the parameter is displayed as: loginAuthSys=[AuthenticationSystem]
