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 general modes of session authentication:

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.

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.

LAS using one web service location

Local Application Service

LAS using different web service locations

Local Application Service

How to Configure LAS

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.
