Authentication
Planon users are authenticated at application server level. By default, during log on, users are verified against the database’s account table.
If so desired, and compliant with the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) specifications, customers may use a different authentication method.
 | For more information on JAAS, refer to JAAS tutorials (Security Developer's Guide). |
Most authentication methods can be downloaded free of charge, or can be custom-made. Planon supports for example LDAPS (Administrator's Guide) and Single Sign-On (Authentication methods).
 | Whichever authentication method is used, a corresponding user account must exist in Planon. |
