Authentication

Overview

All users are defined in Tracking using the Administration module.

Behind the CLIENT firewall: on premise

l l l

Product Authentication: This is the standard out of the box means of logging into Tracking. User IDs and passwords validated by the SendSuite Tracking application.

Auto-logon supported by Windows authentication: Password verification is disabled when users are successfully logged into the corporate PC, The Tracking User ID must be the same as the user’s

Windows ID. Auto-logon uses .NET to obtain the Windows credential from the client workstation.

Auto Logon is only available for deployments behind your company’s firewall.

LDAP using Active Directory: Interactive login not validated by the SendSuite Tracking database.

Users are validated by the LDAP host.

NOTE: A valid user account must first be created or already exist within SendSuite Tracking in order for any user to access the system. Passwords are validated by the system in Product authentication mode. In LDAP mode the user ID and password are validated against the configured LDAP host system. In Auto-Logon or Key

Exchange authentication modes the system only validates the user ID but not the password. Key Exchange makes use of a unique access token that, when configured, is automatically provided by the client workstation.

Hosted deployment

Product Authentication: This is the standard out of the box means of logging into Tracking. User IDs and passwords validated by the SendSuite Tracking application.

Key Exchange: Intended for SendSuite Tracking installations in hosted environments, Key Exchange

Auto-Logon emulates the SSO user experience. SendSuite Tracking generates a client key for each software instance during the installation of the application server software. A new key can be generated if necessary by a server administrator. Each enterprise is provided with their key to use during the SendSuite Tracking client installation process. Once installed and configured, SendSuite

Tracking generates an access code based on the user ID, a unique token, and client key, and grants access if it matches the code generated by the application server.

Note that login requires access to the client key and access code creation method, and that each login requires unique authentication. A new key can be generated if necessary.
