The UBIK Session Authentication Management (USAM) is a mechanism for managing all connected users logged in to one or more UBIK® databases. There are three modes of session authentication: Single Local Application, Local Application Service (LAS) and Global Application Service (GAS).
Contents
Single Local Application
This means that no explicit authorization mechanism is used. The user's session is a single session which cannot be terminated by another user or the system itself. See how to configure authentication using Single Local Application.
LAS (Local Application Service)
When a LAS is used, the session management service and the data service share one database connection. This does not mean that a local authentication service has to be in the same location as the data webservice, only the database connection for both services have to be configured to use the same connection. See how to configure authentication using LAS.
LAS using one web service location
LAS using different web service locations
 | This authentication type must be used for being able to use mobile clients! |
GAS (Global Application Service)
GAS means the session management is managing connections for one or more databases via a separate database used to manage these sessions. A client has to be configured to use the session management service address for athentication and to use a different data service address. See how to configure authentication using GAS.
| This authentication mode is not yet supported! |
