Login Methods
UDMG provides the following login methods:
- Standard
- LDAP
The default login method for a user depends on the user account type.
Account Type | Login Method |
|---|---|
Local User Account | If LDAP authentication is not configured, then the Standard Login method is the default. Otherwise, only the users that are listed in the admins configuration parameter in the LDAP Settings. are using the Standard Login method, while the other are using the LDAP-Provisioned User Account method. |
LDAP-Provisioned User Account | Any user provisioned through LDAP synchronization and not listed as admin will be using this method designated, by default, with the login method(s) configured in the LDAP Settings. |
Any attempt by a user to use either the Standard login or LDAP-Provisioned User Account with invalid username or password will receive the following error:
Invalid credentials.
Standard Login
The UDMG Login page displays automatically when you bring up the UDMG Admin UI system and browse to its URL.
The Standard login URL is: http(s)://<server:port>/auth/login (or simply, http(s)://<server:port>/).
All Local accounts and LDAP-authenticated accounts authenticate through this standard login URL.
| Service | The UDMG service to connect to. The default Service is mft. |
|---|---|
Username | The default login Username is admin. |
Password | The user password. |
Changing Your Password
Note
Changing your password is not applicable to users that log in using LDAP authentication.
Changing password is possible with the following methods
- with the UDMG command line
- with the Users management page that is only accessible to users with the appropriate administrative access permission
Logging Out
To log out of your UDMG session:
Step 1 | On the User Task Bar, click the User Actions drop-down list arrow to display a menu of user actions. |

Step 2 | Click Logout. You are logged out of this session, and the Login page displays. |
Exiting without Logging Out

The session will be logged out after 5 minutes of inactivity.
