Valuemation Web Client

To access the Valuemation Web client, a user can be authenticated by:

1. Providing a username/password in the login dialog.

   The standard login dialog is shown when the Valuemation web page opens. The user has to enter his username and password which are validated. The validation usually runs against the data stored in the internal Valuemation database (please see the 'de.usu.s3.authentication.S3UserLoginModule' login module) or, when the 'de.usu.s3.authentication.JNDILoginModule' login module is used, against the LDAP server.

2. Using the SSO mechanism.

   The username and password are provided by the browser or an external authentication system and the user does not have to enter the credentials manually.

In this section, some examples of the possible authentication modes will be shown.
