- frevvo Default Security Manager - 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. If you use the Default Security Manager, a tenant admin can create users and roles directly in your tenant.
LDAP Active Directory Security Manager - The user is authenticated outside using LDAP directly. This Security Manager by itself does not provide SSO. For Live Forms In-house customers using Microsoft IIS, SSO is available.
Note When using the LDAP Security Manager, groups are the equivalent of Live Forms roles.
- SAML Security Manager - This security manager allows the exchange of authentication and authorization data between an identity provider of your choice (ex:Shiboleth, Okta, ADFS, etc...) 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. Azure AD can integrate with Microsoft AD providing a simple and secure way to access identity managment in the frevvo cloud.
Delegating Security Manager - this is the Security Manger needed for Confluence integration.
Note When using the Delegating Security Manager, groups are the equivalent of Live Forms roles.
- DB Container Security Manager - Authentication is the container's responsibility, but provides a database interface to fetch users/roles for design time functionality from an external database.
- LDAP Container Security Manager - This is exactly the same as the DB Container Security Manager but LDAP instead of DB. Authentication is the container's responsibility.
- Custom - Container managed security manager used when there is a requirement for a container to handle authentication.
