Configure LAS Authentication

Using the Local Application Service (LAS) authentication mode requires to configue the UBIK^® Studio as well as the web service.

1. Open UBIK^® Studio and connect to the database which should be configured for LAS.
2. Open database specific settings and set

Parameter	Value	Comment
SessionManagementType	1	0 = Local Management, 1 = LAS, 2 = GAS
SessionServiceUrl	https://SERVERNAME[:PORT]/UBIK/USAM.svc/SOAP??	Address of the authentication service The port number PORT must be specified only if other than 443 (default for https).
TokenValityPeriode	300	Duration (in seconds) every generated token is valid. The token expires after this timespan.
HideAuthenticationInfo	1	This switch provides the possibility to turn off the detailed error information as necessary (due to security issues).

3. Open the web.config of the data service and set the session's management type and URL to the according address of the web service.
  <appSettings>
    ...
    <add key="UBIK.Service.TokenValityPeriode" value="600" />
    <add key="UBIK.Service.SessionManagementType" value="1" />
    <add key="UBIK.Service.SessionManagementUrl" value="https://SERVERNAME[:PORT]/UBIK/USAM.svc/SOAP" />
    <add key="UBIK.Service.HideAuthenticationInfo" value="0" />
    ...
  </appSettings>
4. If the authentication service is in a different location, open the web.config of the USAM service:
   
   • the settings in the configuration file are the same as in the data service
   • however, the settings for the SessionManagementType and the SessionManagementUrl will be ignored

It is important that the authentication service connects to the same database as the data service!
