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.
