Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Note: WebOffice usermanagement is an additional module to WebOffice 10.8 SP2. In the following chapters only the configuration options regarding the connection between WebOffice usermanagement and WebOffice 10.8 SP2 are described.

Note: For information about the installation of WebOffice usermanagement, please see chapter WebOffice usermanagement (Application Server).

Note: For general information about WebOffice usermanagement and configuration workflows in the UserManagement Admin Web, please see chapter WebOffice usermanagement and its subsequent chapters.

 

WebOffice usermanagement was designed in a way that it is able to use already existing authentication systems. This is accomplished by configuring the WebOffice usermanagement module according to your specific needs. Using already existing authentication systems is important to avoid redundancies and is essential for implementing centralized rights control for several applications in a company network. In the following chapters you will find the different supported authentication systems.
