Interaction of Identity Services

A number of Identity Services can be used at the same time:

  • Required Identity Services: user login is performed with all required Identity Services.
    • No Optional Identity Services are considered.
    • If more than one Required Identity Service is configured then a user cannot log in if the login fails with any of the Identity Services.
    • Permissions from all Required Identity Services are merged.
  • Optional Identity Services: with the first successful login to an Identity Service the user is considered being logged in.
    • No further optional Identity Services are consulted if a user login is successful with one of the Optional Identity Services.
    • For example, if two Optional Identity Services JOC and LDAP are configured in this sequence then the login to the JOC Identity Service can fail and still the user might successfully login with the LDAP Identity Service.
    • Permissions from the successful login to an Optional Identity Service are used.
  • Disabled Identity Services are not considered for user login.

Identity Services are ordered to specify the sequence of preferred use for authentication.
