Authentication

To authenticate to Nectari, you must create a provider and add users. Beforehand, make sure to have registered Nectari with the provider to obtain the required parameters for OAuth or SAML2.

To add a provider:

1. Go to the Administration menu in the top-right corner.

2. Click the Security menu.

3. Click Authentication in the menu list.

4. Click the + icon.

5. Select the authentication type from the pop-up window and click Create.

   

6. This adds a new item under the Providers list and provides an empty form to configure a new provider. Enter the required parameters in the General tab for OAuth or SAML2.

   

7. Click Save.

8. The Users tab becomes enabled for OAuth or SAML2. This tab allows you to configure the mapping between Web Server users and the newly-created provider.

   • Click the + icon to add a user.

   • Click the Trash icon to delete the selected users from the list.

   

   A user will not be able to log in to the Web Server using the provider if:

   • They are not listed in the grid;

   • The mapping value is not correctly set for that user.

9. Click Save.
