User Authentication

---

These settings are system wide settings for XDOC users. Since XDOC uses can either be internally or externally created, configuration options need to be in place to account for the wide variety of options customers can use for validating users.

User Authentication – General settings for users and user authentication 

 

Field	Value
Allow External Users	Yes/No to allow for external users. Almost all XDOC integrations will need this set to "yes"
Allow Remember User	Yes/No to allow for the application to remember the user name at next logon
Allow Auto-Logon	Yes/No to allow for auto-logon so users don't have to log on with a password every time
Auto-Logon Timeout	The amount of idle time on a browser session before automatically logging out
Auto-Logon Timeout Max	The maximum amount of time allowed for this setting
Use Logon Page Captcha	If set to "yes" the system uses a validation security question when logging on to the system for added security

 

External User Validation and Lookup – When integrating users form outside of the XDOC system, there are two types of validation that can happen, Lookup and Validation. User Lookup simply integrates the users into the system from the outside source, and User Validation verifies they have the right authentication to access XDOC. These two sections have the same configuration options, which are tied to elements of the axSystemComfig.xml integration file on the XDOC server. NOTE: Users should never alter any of these fields without first consulting Axacore Customer Support.
