Introduction
42Q IAM (Identity Access Management) is the unified login management to the MES portal; it provides adaptive solutions to support different policies and guarantee the authentication/authorization with a more secure mode.
This document introduces the three forms of authentications that are described below:
- LDAP Authentication
- Non-LDAP Authentication
- SAML Authentication
When the user enters the MES Portal URL the system redirects to the unified login page:
