Authentication

The Workflow Login dialog box is used to log in to Workflow.

Authentication Types

The following information applies to all regular logins except the Mobile-sized Task List:

The computer you use to log in, stores the authentication type in the proficyclient.exe.config file. When you start a new client on that computer, the authentication type that you had selected during your previous login session is automatically selected. However, if another user had successfully logged in to that computer with a different authentication type between now and the previous time you had logged in , then that authentication type will be selected.

If you attempt to log in using a different authentication type but the authentication fails, the authentication type is not updated in the proficyclient.exe.config file.

Property	Value	Description
Workflow Authentication	System-defined	Your user profile is part of the Workflow application.
Windows Authentication	System-defined	Your user profile is part of the Windows domain. Important: To log in using Windows Authentication, your server and client(s) must be on a domain. The domain field is populated using the domain that the computer joins. If the user logging in is from a different domain, this field is populated using the domain that this user belongs to. You must have added your user accounts to one or more active directory universal or global groups that are mapped to Workflow groups. The computer stores the domain name you enter in the proficyclient.exe.config file. When you start a new client, that domain name appears in the Domain field. However, if another user successfully logged in under a different domain since your last log on, that domain name will be displayed. If you attempt to log in under a different domain but the authentication fails, the domain name is not updated in the proficyclient.exe.config file.
SSO Authentication	System-defined	Your user profile is part of SSO security. Note: SSO Authentication is not available if it has not been enabled.
