Login methods

The typical method of logging in to the application is by entering a username and a password. The user enters the name and the password in the entry fields Username and Password and clicks Login. An administrator can set up password restrictions in user management, section Password requirements.

Users may also be allowed to log in to a preset account automatically, without having to fill in the username and password. Depending on the settings, the user can in such a case be logged in either automatically, without the option to log in using another username, or the login dialog displays the option Log in using automatic authentication. Details of these settings are described in chapters Login using SSO (Single sign-on) and Automatic authentication.

Another option is to log in using External authentication. If external authentication is available (the setting is described in chapter External authentication), a button or buttons with the link to the corresponding services is displayed next to the Login button. Clicking the button will display the service’s login page, where the user can enter the required login details and confirm them. After signing in, the user is redirected back to FormFlow.
