Authentication Workflows

There are three different authentication methods that can be used for VALT:

  • Local Authentication
  • LDAP Authentication
  • SSO Authentication


Local Authentication

Local accounts are created and assigned to groups within VALT. Local accounts can be created manually or imported from a list.

LDAP Authentication

LDAP accounts can be imported manually using an LDAP search and lookup tool within the software or imported automatically on a schedule based on group.

SSO Authentication

SSO accounts are automatically created when a user logs in for the first time. The user can be placed in the proper group automatically upon login by mapping SSO attributes to a user group within VALT.


  • VALT uses Just In Time (JIT) provisioning.
    • Users are assigned to groups each time they log in, based on the group membership attribute being passed
  • If a user does NOT have a user mapping associated with their account, user gets moved to "Users without Group" and has restricted access
  • If a user's user mapping changes, they will be moved to the correct group upon their next SSO sign-in
