Introduction to Automatic Authentication


You can configure your application to automatically authenticate a user each time they visit a form. When an unauthenticated user requests a form they are prompted to authenticate by the configured option. Once a user is authenticated their details are passed to the Security Manager, which can then used to establish the permissions for that user.

Automatic authentication is configured in the Server Admin App under User Authentication.

To enable automatic authentication select one of the automatic authentication options, which include:

  • Windows Domain User Authentication
  • OpenID Connect Authentication
  • Gateway Authentication
  • Custom Authentication

As an unauthenticated user cannot access your application, you do not need to handle them in server-side events.
