titleAbout

frevvo has a pluggable security framework and offers a variety of built-in Security Managers. If you use the frevvo Default Security Manager, a tenant admin can create users and roles directly in your frevvo tenants. See the Manage Users and the Manage Roles for instructions on creating users and roles. Note that with LDAP Security Manager and Delegating Security Manager, groups are the equivalent of frevvo roles.

frevvo also supports two types of LDAP Security Managers that pull users and groups from your external Active Directory or Open LDAP system; a Delegating Security Manager when you are integrating frevvo with Confluence; and a SAML Security manager that allows enterprises to take advantage of Internet Single sign On.

Note
  • frevvo Security Managers are an Add on feature with additional costs.
  • frevvo only supports/certifies Security Managers when frevvo is running in the Apache Tomcat container. Refer to our Supported Platforms for the list of Application Servers supported/certified by frevvo.

SAML Security Manager

Azure SAML Security Manager

Changing the Security Manager for your Tenant



  • frevvo Default Security Manager - frevvo is responsible for authentication/authorization and managing users/roles. This is the default option. Your tenant will be created with this security manager if no other choice is selected.
  • LDAP Active Directory Security Manager - The user is authenticated outside frevvo. Typically, SSO or frevvo performs the authentication using LDAP directly.
  • SAML Security Manager - This security manager allows the exchange of authentication and authorization data between an identity provider of your choice (ex:Shiboleth) and a service provider (frevvo). SSO is supported. Although this security manager can be used on-premise it is primarily meant for cloud tenants who use LDAP but do not want to expose it over the internet.
  • Azure SAML Security Manager - This security manager uses SAML in Authentication Only mode and the Active Directory available in the Microsoft Cloud solution, Azure. Integration with the Azure API enables frevvo queries. On-premise AD services can be exposed via Azure providing a clean way to integrate with the frevvo cloud. 
  • Delegating Security Manager - this is the Security Manger needed for Confluence integration.
