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.
 


 

ServiceThe UDMG service to connect to. The default Service is mft.

Username

The default login Username is admin.

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

As a best practice, we recommend that you always end your UDMG session by logging out before closing the browser or navigating away from the user interface.

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