Domain authentication and SSO

Da itm wiki.

Domain connection(s) can be managed in General\System\LM Settings with superadmin role.

In tab LDAP Properties is possible to manage a list of domain connection(s). Is possile to define connection(s) related to differente domain(s) or to same domain but with different BaseDN.

Field Description Comment
Configuration Name The name of current Domain connection
Host Domain server address or host name
BaseDN TBC.
Server Type Type of domain controller AD (active Directory) and OpenLDAP are supported
Active If checked the connection is active TBC.

By click on button Add New is possible to add a domain connection by filling the following properties

Field Description Comment
Configuration Name TBC.
Host TBC.
Server Type TBC.
BaseDN TBC.
Bind User TBC.
Bind Password TBC. TBC.
Active TBC. TBC.
Sample user's login TBC. TBC.
Sample user's password TBC. TBC.
Checked TBC. TBC.

A domain connection shall be activable only after it was checked: use button Check to verify it.

At click on button Check: itmSUITE will send a request to domain with inserted credentials.

If at least 1 connection is active the user with same login on domain could use domain credentials instead of user credentials.

In this case the authentication follows these steps:

  • 1. itmSUITE checks if login inserted is existing in its DB, otherwise access is not allowed.
  • 2. itmSUITE sends a request with pair login, password to domain controller.
  • 3. The domain controller checks if the login inserted is existing in domain and if password is correct.
  • 4. If domain controller response is positive: itmSUITE allows access.
  • 5. If domain controller response is negative: itmSUITE checks password on its DB and grants access if check is positive, otherwise access is not allowed.

More than one connection to domain(s) can be active at the same time: in this case the above step 2 is executed on each active connection.
