Logging In


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.
