User-Defined Logon, LDAP Logon, LDAP SSO Overview

PROIV Versions 7 onwards ships with three new areas of functionality which enhance the logon process.

User-Defined Logon

The User-Defined Logon functionality enables you to tailor the logon screen to meet your own requirements. The new @UserDefinedLogon Screen function can be altered to suit your business needs, you can add your company logo and change the look and feel to match your business branding. It does not use the LDAP authentication functionality and will log onto PROIV as normal.

LDAP User-Defined Logon

You can also decide to use the working LDAP example which is shipped with PROIV Versions from 7 onwards if you want to take advantage of the LDAP support. The @UserDefinedLogonLDAP replaces the standard PROIV logon screen, and enables the connection and authentication to an LDAP server.

LDAP SSO

PROIV also provides a new SSO, which uses JDNI to make available LDAP read-only operations. The SSO is distributed in the standard NorthgateVirtualMachine.jar. It is called com.northgatearinso.proiv.sso.ldapmanager.LDAPManager and is accessible through PROIV logic. You can use it in your own functions to meet your LDAP needs. It is important to note and it is important to note that you do not have to use the LDAP User-Defined Logon to take advantage of the LDAP SSO's functionality, just reference it in your own function. Also note, that the User-Defined Logon configuration tool (User-Defined Logon Configuration window) is not necessarily required in this scenario.

For more information about the LDAP SSO, refer to the documentation that accompanies the SSO.

You can decide to mix and match the above elements to meet your requirements, providing flexibility and control over the logon process.
