• Are you creating a tenant for Confluence? - Check this if you are planning on integrating frevvo with Confluence. If checked, the Security Manager Class field displays the Delegating Security Manager - This is the Security Manager needed for Confluence. The SharePoint section of the screen is hidden. The SharePoint Connector is not available to frevvo Confluence customers as it will not work in embedded scenarios.  If unchecked, the Default Security Manager will be used. 

• If you are not using Confluence, select a Security Manager Option from the following choices: 

  Section

  Column Column Frevvo Default Security Manager (FSM) - 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.  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. LDAP Active Directory Security Manager (LDAPSM) - The user is authenticated outside frevvo. Typically, SSO or frevvo performs the authentication using LDAP directly. Azure SAML Security Manager - Allows the on-premises AD to be exposed to the cloud via synchronization with Azure AD. Uses the graph API to access users and groups from AD. SAML is used for authentication only, providing single sign on. Delegating Security Manager - this is the Security Manger needed for Confluence integration.

Built-in admin for LDAP, Azure and SAML Security Manager tenants

A Tenant admin can login directly to frevvo or login with a user id who has been given tenant admin permissions in your Active Directory. Tenants using the LDAP(s) Security Manager now have the ability to configure a built-in admin account. This was not possible for this Security Manager in previous releases.

When you create a new tenant, you are prompted to set up a tenant admin user id, password and email address. This tenant admin does not authenticate via your LDAP IDP. It only exists in frevvo. If you experience an issue with your LDAP configuration such that you can't login as an Active Directory authenticated user, use the built-in admin to login to your tenant as a tenant admin in order to fix your configuration issue. The built-in admin is able to access the tenant frevvo tenant admin functions if your LDAP Server should become inaccessible. Only one built-in tenant admin account is supported.

...

Browse this URL to login as the built-in admin: <base_URL>/frevvo/web/admin/login. When specified, will frevvo will prepend the base URL to the URLs in your Form/Document Actions. The <base_URL> is typically http(s)://<your servername>:<port>.

Definitions of Password Strength:

• none - uses system default, enforces a minimum password of 8 characters
• Fair - very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks. (guesses < 10^6) Strength meter will indicate "Very weak."
• Good - somewhat guessable: protection from unthrottled online attacks. (guesses < 10^8) Strength meter will indicate "Weak."
• Strong - safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses < 10^10)
• Very Strong - very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses >= 10^10)

A user creating or resetting their password will be required to meet the password strength specified by the tenant admin. Password strength is indicated as the user types by a Password Strength Meter visible below the entry. There are no specific length or character requirements, but the meter will detect the strength of the password based on use of uncommon words or phrases and unpredictable use of capitalization, numbers and special characters. Helpful suggestions appear to prompt the user towards a stronger password. Password length is limited to 100 characters and an error message will appear if user attempts to enter more than 100 characters. Users cannot use their old password or a temporary password as the new password. Here are screenshots of what a user might see if the Tenant Password Strength is set to "Strong." Strong and Very Strong passwords use uncommon words or phrases and unpredictable use of capitalization, numbers and special characters.

A user designing a form, viewing their task list, or using a form to enter values and submit has a certain number of minutes to complete the activity. This time limit is called the Session Timeout. By default the session will expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. When the session expires a designer user will have to re-login to frevvo to continue designing forms and users filling forms will have to get new form instance and re-enter the values. The tenant admin can override the default session timeout with the value that is entered into the Session Timeout field.

...

The Deployment State lets you toggle the default deployment state of your form between two states: PRODUCTION and DEVELOPMENT. When a form is in development state it contains a watermark. If you have a  unlimited a frevvo unlimited user license key you may want all the forms created by the designer to automatically be deployed for production with no water mark. 

...

Now this person has a user account on your tenant and can login. If you gave them the frevvo designer role they will also be able to create forms and workflows. If not, when they login, they will see their task list as shown below.

...

...

1. Click the Manage Roles link.
2. You will see several pre-created roles: frevvo.Designer, frevvo.Editor, frevvo.Publisher, frevvo.ReadOnly.
3. Click the  icon, fill in the form and submit it to create new roles e.g. Employee or Manager.
4. Click the Back to Manage Tenant link.
5. Next click the Manage Users link.
6. For frevvo In-house you will see a single user – the administrative user you defined when you created the tenant. Note that you will have to click the link to display All users. By default, only users beginning with the later A are displayed. For Online frevvo Online you will see two users – the administrative user and the designer username you specified when you signed up for your trial SaaS account.
7. To create a new user with permissions to create forms, click the  icon, fill in the form and select the role frevvo.designer. If you do not select this role then this new user will not be able to create forms but will only be able to use forms created by others.
8. The new user will be created. Create as many users and assign them roles as needed.
9. Logout of the tenant admin account and login as one of the newly created users with the frevvo.Designer role and start building forms and workflows.
10. Note that you must login using either the syntax: userid@tenant for the user name. For example, if the newly created tenant was named example.com then all users in that tenant must login using the ID: user@example.com. If you prefer to enter the username and tenant name in their own login page input fields, the configuration parameter, frevvo.login.show.tenant, can be modified to display the tenant name input field.
