Authentication

Previous Next

Authentication is the process of validating the credentials (usually, a username/password combination) of a user who logs on to a USoft application or web API. This contrasts with authorisation, which is the process of specifying and enforcing data access rules (in USoft, table rights and column rights) that users have on database tables and logical views.

USoft Service Definer can work with different authentication schemes:

USoft authentication

SAML authentication

Anonymous authentication

Cookie-based authentication
