How to manage user authentication providers

Article summary

Defining a provider per user is a security measure designed for specific scenarios. For example, it's applicable when dealing with high-trust users who must set up a fallback mechanism for authentication. The system should allow these users to use an alternative option whenever primary authentication fails.

Another situation that requires this measure is the definition of a provider other than the default for a specific user. For more information, access the document on How to manage authentication providers.

Alert

Note that if the user has a user authentication provider previously registered, senhasegura will ignore the system's provider and make the attempt using only the user's authentication provider.

Info

The admin user installed by default in senhasegura has the Local provider as the primary authentication provider.

Set up a provider for a user

To set up a provider for a user, follow the steps below:

  1. On senhasegura, in the upper-left corner, click Grid Menu, represented by the nine squares, and select Settings.
  2. In the side menu, select Authentication > Provider per user.
  3. Click Show actions, represented by the three vertical dots, and select New.
  4. In the Provider per User window, select one of the available options.
  5. Under Order, set the priority of this provider.
  6. Click the sum icon next to the word Users to open the System Users modal.
