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's SSO uses Just-In-Time (JIT) Provisioning.
- Users are reevaluated and assigned to groups each time they log in, based on a group membership attribute being passed.
- If a user does NOT have a user mapping associated with their account, the 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.
- Correct mapping is based on the SSO mapping created in VALT and the attribute/pair value being passed from the IdP.
