Configuring Authentication
Figure 5-22. The default Logon page
Through the Rights Manager in the Administrative Interface, you can customize the Logon, Logoff, Stop
and Guest Registration pages. By customizing these pages you can identify your organization to the
user before they log in, and confirm to the user that they are logging in via the appropriate Connection
Profile within the organization. If you use multiple Authentication Policies (for example, a Business
School Authentication Policy and a Medical School Authentication Policy) you can optionally allow the
user to choose the appropriate Authentication Policy.
For special-purpose installations, such as a kiosk application, you can capture information about the
users who log in to view your site by requiring Guest users to go through a registration process. A
Registered Guest provides a username and password that are stored in the built-in database, and are
associated with the Guest Identity Profile. Once registered, a registered guest can log on again using
their username and password, and are therefore considered authenticated users when they log on to the
system. As long as the Guest Identity Profile occurs in the Rights Assignment table prior to the default
Authenticated Identity Profile, registered guests will match the Guest Identity Profile and will have
only Guest access rights.
Note:
If the default Authenticated Identity Profile occurs in the Rights table prior to the Guest Identity
Profile, registered Guests will match the Authenticated Identity Profile and will receive rights based on
the Access Policy associated with the Authenticated Identity Profile.
Through the Rights Manager, you can customize the appearance of the Logon, Logoff and Stop pages in
the following ways:
• You can create customized versions of the standard Logon, Logoff and Stop pages by including
your own text and logos.
• You can associate a different customized page for each Connection Profile you have created in the
Rights Manager.
