Access rights control always has two major aspects
•Authentication (i.e. identifying a user). User identification is the prerequisite for granting it specific user rights.
•Authorization (i.e. granting an identified user specific access rights).
SynerGIS User Management was designed in a way that it is able to use already existing authentication systems. This is accomplished by configuring the User Management 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.
Authorization is provided by reading the SynerGIS User Management rights repository (this is where role definitions are stored). The rights repository may be stored in one of the database systems listed below:
•Oracle database
•MS SQL Server or
•MS Access.
