Logging In

Jan 22, 2025

 

Login Methods

The available login methods for a user depends on the system configuration, the selection of service and provider on the UDMG Admin UI login page, and the user login method. UDMG provides the following login methods:

  • Local database authentication

    • For local database authentication, the user can be configured with either Standard or Standard/Authenticator App (TOTP).

  • LDAP authentication

    • For LDAP authentication, it is possible that the user doesn't exist in UDMG yet. In this case, the user is created as read-only after the LDAP authentication and granted access. The intervention of an administrator user is needed.

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication

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

 

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

Invalid credentials.

The errors 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 the UDMG Admin UI system and correct URL browser are brought up.

The standard login URL is http(s)://<server:port>/auth (or simply, http(s)://<server:port>/).

All Local accounts and LDAP-authenticated accounts authenticate through the below standard login page.
 

Service

The UDMG service to connect to.
The service defines the target environment and the available authentication methods.
The service names and parameters are configured with UDMG Authentication Proxy.

Provider

The authentication method to use for this service. The "local" provider is always enabled.
The available providers for a service are configured with UDMG Authentication Proxy.

See Authentication Methods for additional information.

Username

The user's username.

The default login username is admin.

Password

The user's password.

Changing Your Password

Note

Changing a user's password is not applicable to users that log in using LDAP or SSO authentication.

 

To change a user's password at any time after logging in:

Step 1

On the User Task Bar in the top right, click the Users Name (i.e., admin)button to display a drop-down list of user actions.
 

Step 2

Click the Change Password from the drop-down list. The Change Password dialog box pops up.
 

Step 3

Enter the Current Password, a New Password, and the reentered Confirm Password.

Step 4

Click the Save changes button.

Changing a user's password is also possible with the following methods:

  • with the UDMG command line.

  • within the Users Management page, which is only accessible to users with the appropriate administrative access permission. 

Single Sign-On Login

If the Identity Provider is Single Sign-On authentication, then the username and password fields are not displayed. The user must click the Next button to open the Sign In page from the Identity Provider.

Standard/Authenticator App (TOTP)

UDMG Admin UI supports the use of an Authenticator App for standard login accounts.

A user configured for Standard / Authenticator App (TOTP) as a login method must set up their UDMG account in their authenticator app during their initial login. 

To set a user's authentication:

Step 1

During the initial login, an enrollment page is presented to the user assuming they authenticated successfully using their username and password.

Scan QR code. 

Step 2

Click the Manual button for the manual setup process. 

Step 3

Enter the time-based one-time password (TOTP) text box to login to the UDMG Admin UI.

Step 4

Once the code is validated, the enrollment is considered complete.

Click the Go to main page button to proceed to the application or wait for the automatic redirection after 5 seconds.
