Types of authentication

The TRIRIGA® Application Platform uses its own native authentication by default.

With native authentication, the user enters their user name and password in an IBM TRIRIGA login screen. The TRIRIGA Application Platform authenticates the user by comparing the user name and password that the user entered with the user name and password that are stored in the IBM TRIRIGA database.

Single sign-on authentication, which is not native to IBM TRIRIGA, can also be used for authentication. With single sign-on authentication, the user logs in to applications with a user name and password that are stored in an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory or Active Directory. The application server or web server authenticates the user by comparing the user name and password that the user entered with the user name and password that are stored in the directory server.
