General Tab

Enable the User-Defined Logon Screen

Select the check box to display the User-Defined Logon window at logon instead of the PROIV Logon window.

If you want to use the example LDAP authentication functionality, you must rename the @UserDefinedLogon function, and then rename or copy @UserDefinedLogonLDAP to @UserDefinedLogon to ensure that the LDAP User-Defined Logon window is used at logon.

If you want to take advantage of using your bespoke logon screen without using the LDAP authentication, enable the check box and that User-Defined Logon window appears at logon.

Enable PROIV Password Validation

Select the check box to turn on PROIV password validation during the logon process. This checks the password held against the PROIV Logon ID and if the validation is successful, the logon occurs, if it is invalid, an error message appears.

LDAP Tab

LDAP Server Connection and Authentication

This section enables you to configure and test the LDAP connection server details, set up the authentication type and to enable automatic logon if user name mappings are unique.

URL

Enter the LDAP server connection string details. This is the URL where the LDAP server is located.

A250 -  Non-Mandatory

Authentication Type

Select the LDAP authentication type. The options in the drop-down list are:

simple - Uses weak authentication (clear-text password)

none - Uses no authentication (anonymous)

There are other authentication types available, and therefore you can enter other types in the field and they are supported.

Test Authentication

Click to test the LDAP authentication details. The Test LDAP Authentication window appears. Enter the LDAP user name and password you want to authenticate and click the Test . A connection is attempted to the LDAP server configured in the URL field and a message appears indicating a successful or unsuccessful connection. For example, a successful connection is confirmed with a 'The LDAP server connection has been successfully made and authenticated.' message.  An unsuccessful logon attempt is reported with a 'The LDAP server connection or authentication has failed', accompanied with any error messages passed through the SSO from the LDAP server.

Automatic Logon if the Mapping is Unique

Select the check box to ensure that when there is one Co/Div (Company and Division) and PROIV User ID mapped to an LDAP user name, automatic logon occurs and the Select the PROIV User window is not displayed.

If you want to run the LDAP User-Defined Logon on green screen terminals, you must select the check box and ensure that there is only one PROIV user per LDAP user, because the Select the PROIV User window is not available in green screen.

Mappings Tab
