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 MDM uses LDAP login module and not the Default login module.
  • User with security type = PASSWORD are managed in TIBCO MDM and authenticated within the application itself.
  • User with security type = LDAP must exist in configured LDAP server. Password is not captured as part of user profile.
  • User with security type = LDAP is validated against LDAP during user creation and update. No information is extracted from LDAP server - all the user profile is managed in TIBCO MDM. 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.
