Authentication options control how DocPop users are logged on to OnBase. There are multiple methods of authentication, referred to here as logon methods. Available logon methods are outlined in the following table. For more information, see the Configuration chapter in the DocPop, PDFPop, or FolderPop reference guide.
Logon Method |
Description |
---|---|
Default |
Logs the user on automatically using a default user account that has limited rights. Each user who accesses DocPop is logged on under this account, which is specified in the Web Server's Web.config file. |
HTTP |
Logs the user on automatically using a user name and password specified in the DocPop URL's query string. The HTTP logon method is not recommended for production environments because it passes the user name and password in clear text on the query string. |
Interactive |
Prompts each user for a user name and password every time the user accesses DocPop. |
Active Directory, LDAP, or SSO Authentication |
Logs the user on automatically using the user's Active Directory, LDAP, or SSO credentials. |
Session ID |
Logs the user on automatically by passing a session ID on the DocPop URL's query string. |
