WINDEV Concepts

Part 4: Advanced concept 131 3.3 Options specific to the standard User Groupware If you use the standard User Groupware, the "Files" tab allows you to configure: • the type of database used (these options are available in "Automatic start" mode only). • the type of authentication: • Authentication managed by the WINDEV User Groupware. • Authentication from an LDAP directory. • Windows authentication. Database type In "Standard User Groupware" mode, the User Groupware uses several specific data files. These data files are mainly used to manage users, groups, rights and elements in the application. The standard User Groupware can be used: • with HFSQL Classic data files. In this case, you can specify the location of the data files via the "Default directory" link. • with HFSQL Client/Server data files. In this case, you can define the parameters for accessing the HFSQL Client/Server database as well as the file directory by selecting "Click here to enter the server parameters". Type of authentication The standard User Groupware includes several user authentication modes: • Authentication entirely managed by the User Groupware : The username and password are saved in the User Groupware data files. • Authentication from an LDAP directory or Active Directory : If the company of your customer uses an LDAP directory, you can enable the User Groupware on this directory. Simply click the link "Click here to enter the server parameters" to specify the characteristics of the LDAP directory (server, port, base DN, etc.). Therefore, the account and the password in the LDAP directory will be automatically requested to the user. For more details, see the online help. • Windows authentication : In this case, the username and password correspond to those defined for Windows. Remark: You can also use a unique authentication. In this case, the username and password will be requested only once per session. Depending on the option chosen, additional options may be available: • Login window only (no management of rights) : This option is only available for LDAP and Windows authentication. If this option is checked, no groupware data file will be created. If the application is started in automatic mode, the user will need to log in. If the user is saved in the LDAP directory, the application will start; otherwise, it will be closed. A supervisor cannot configure the rights on the windows. If this option is not checked, only the users in the LDAP directory will be able to log in. You can set the rights on the windows. • Single authentication (SSO) : This option allows you to enter the password only once per Windows session. The "OAuth" tab allows you to authorize the use of a specific connection service. For the specified service, it is necessary to specify the corresponding identifiers (provided when registering the application with the selected service). 3.4 Options specific to the BaaS User Groupware When using a BaaS User Groupware, the "BaaS" and "Email" tabs allow defining specific options. The "BaaS" tab allows you to define: • the location of the User Groupware application server. You can select a PCSCloud platform or a Network or Internet server, • the user account management mode, • the URLs of the administration sites. The "Email" tab allows you to write the messages for registration confirmation or password recovery.
