Login Methods

UDMG provides the following login methods:

  • Local
  • LDAP
  • Single Sign-On

The login method for a user depends on the system configuration and the selection of service and provider on the login page.

For SSO, the user must exist on UDMG with the email value that is known by the SSO Identity Provider.

For LDAP, the user may not exist in UDMG. In that case, it will be created as read-only after the LDAP authentication and granted access. To acquire more privileges, the intervention of an administrator user will be needed.


Any attempt by a user to use either the Local or LDAP authentication with an invalid username or password will receive the following error: 

Invalid credentials.

Error during SSO authentication are reported either directly on the SSO Identity Provider login page or with the error

Authentication Error.

Standard Login

The UDMG Admin UI 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 page.

Changing Your Password

Note

Changing your password is not applicable to users that log in using LDAP or SSO 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.
