AccelSee has a flexible authentication system, which allows you to configure AccelSee to perform authentication against a variety of authentication sources using provided authentication plugins.
Currently there are 3 kinds of authentication plugins:
- anonymous plugin, which allows anonymous users to see a document
- internal database plugin, to authenticate user thas has been registered in AccelSee database
- external databases plugin to perform authentication against external database table.
Custom Authentication
Accelsee also provide an API for authentication plugin, which allowing you to add your own authentication plugin that authenticate to existing applications.
Trusted Application
Trusted Application is another form of authentication process conducted by AccelSee, with a trusted application, AccelSee will use the (authenticated) session ticket of applications that registered as a trusted application to access the repository. Thus there is no re-authentication of the credential granted by another application.
An example of the trusted application are Documentum Webtop & Taskspace client integrations who uses a DFC (Documentum Foundation Classes) session ticket to access the Documentum repository.
