Default Login Module

This is a basic login module, which is selected if no login module is configured. This login module is classified as "password-based authentication".

The default login module supports authentication for database as well as LDAP based users. For a user if Security Type=LDAP, the authentication goes to LDAP.

Note: If explicit login module is set as LDAP, TIBCO Product and Service Catalog uses LDAP login module and not the Default login module.
  • Users with security type = PASSWORD are managed in TIBCO Product and Service Catalog and authenticated within the application itself.
  • Users with security type = LDAP must exist in configured LDAP server. Password is not captured as part of user profile.
  • Users with security type = LDAP are validated against LDAP during user creation and update. No information is extracted from LDAP server - all the user profile is managed in TIBCO Product and Service Catalog. During creation, password is not used while validating against LDAP. Only user existence is checked.
  • User is validated against LDAP during user modify only if Security Type is changed from PASSWORD to LDAP.
  • Password supplied during login is validated against LDAP during login.
  • No automated user creation or update during login or single sign-on is supported.
