Authentication

Authenticate users accessing the application


Several mechanisms can be used to authenticate users (or clients).

Company directory

FlowerDocs natively supports the LDAPv2 protocol for user authentication:

  • recovery of groups
  • special attributes (mail, …)
  • change password

Qualified directories are:

  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • OpenLDAP
  • Apache Directory Server

OpenID Connect

To integrate FlowerDocs with an existing authentication system shared across the information system, FlowerDocs supports the OpenID Connect protocol. This protocol is used to authenticate a user to FlowerDocs GUI.

Token

The FlowerDocs Core APIs enable user tokens to be generated. The token generated can then be re-used to authenticate requests made to FlowerDocs Core or to open FlowerDocs GUI.
