Login panel authentication

Use this type of authentication for the users to see first a login panel where they are required to provide their login and password.

This type of authorization can also be used for users (identified by login and password) that are stored in the external system. In this case an Insight user enters login and password but authentication and authorization are processed via a request to an external system.

Insight uses only two predefined parameters: Login and password. Follow the procedure below to configure user's authentication via the login panel.

  1. In Admin Console, navigate to Documents Tree > Authentication.
  2. Select Login panel and Fixed values.
    Note If you select External database, follow the same procedure as for Windows authentication.
  3. On the Documents Tree, select User mapping. On the User Identifier (UID) tab, select Database query and enter your query.
    Example SELECT '<Login>'

    SELECT '<Login>'

    FROM dual

    WHERE kamv_user_management.authenticate('<Login>', '<Password>') = 1.

  4. On the Documents Tree, navigate to Roles and select the required role.
  5. On the Fixed values mapping tab, add two properties: Login and Password and specify their values.
    After you access the Viewer, provide these credentials in the presented Login panel.
    Note If you use Fixed values mapping to determine the role and no matching is made, the system automatically attempts to map the login and password as an Insight user.
