14:47, 14 October 2013 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 Authentication ==
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.
== LAS (Local Authentication Service) ==
When a local authentication is used, the session management and the data share the same database. This does not mean that a local authentication service has to share a location for the webservice, only the database connection for both the data service and the session management service have to use the same databse connection.
== GAS (Global Authentication Service) ==
Global session management means that the session management is managing connections to one or more databases via a separate databse used to manage these sessions.
