Authentication & Identity Providers
One of the preferred methods for handling authentication is to use Security Assertion Markup Language, using the SAML 2.0 protocol. To do this with LogScale Cloud, you'll first have to set up an authentication provider. However, user authentication for an organization is only available for paid customers. To upgrade, contact the LogScale Sales Department.
Assuming your organization is already an enterprise customer of LogScale, you may want to use an identity providers, which are covered in the next section.
Identity Providers & Other MethodsAlthough you can use LogScale for authenticating users, you can use instead an identity provider. Or you can use reverse proxy. These are all covered in the sections listed, linked, and described below.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for authentication and authorizing data between applications. In LogScale, therefore, authentication can be delegated to an identity provider.
OpenID is an open standard, decentralized authentication protocol. You can learn how to use it with LogScale on the linked page.
LogScale provides two ways to authenticate, using LDAP and fetch group membership.
OAuth is an open standard that can grant applications and others clients access to LogScale without giving them your password. LogScale supports Google, GitHub, and BitBucket Sign-In.
One way to accomplish single sign-on (SSO) in LogScale is by using a reverse proxy in front of LogScale. This linked page explains how this is done.
