Introduction

42Q IAM (Identity Access Management) is the unified login management to the 42Q 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
• Federated Authentication

When the user enters 42Q MES Portal URL the system redirects to the unified login page:

Non-Federated users will see a 42Q forgotten password link. They will be redirected to the Account Service to reset the password.

Federated users will need to manage their passwords and authentication on the (Identity Provider) page.

1. Enter the email address in the Username field at the unified login page.
2. Select the button Next.

Note: If the email address is invalid, IAM will show the error message below.
