Authentication

On the Authentication tab, Account Managers can select the authentication method used for the site. InterFAX supports both application-based authentication and single sign-on (SSO). Enabling SSO allows users to access multiple applications with a single log in.

Requirements to work with InterFAX SSO:

  • You MUST have an existing/configured SSO Identity Provider (IdP) that is OpenID Connect or SAML compliant.

  • You MUST have IT staff familiar with SSO/OpenID Connect/SAML with permissions to make changes to your identity provider. InterFAX does not configure your identity provider. All documentation and configuration information should come from the identity provider.

Select an authentication method from the Type drop-down menu. The following options are available: 

  • Application Based: Users will use a standard InterFAX username and password to sign in.

  • OIDC Single Sign-on (SSO): Users will use OpenID Connect SSO to sign in. OpenID Connect is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It allows users to authenticate and authorize access to applications using existing provider accounts. OpenID Connect provides a secure and standardized way of exchanging user authentication information between identity providers and service providers. It uses JSON Web Tokens to provide lightweight and stateless identity tokens.

  • SAML Single Sign-On (SSO): Users will use SAML SSO to sign in. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based protocol used for exchanging authentication and authorization data between identity providers and service providers. It allows users to log into one system and then access multiple applications without needing to re-enter credentials. SAML tokens encapsulate user attributes and authentication assertions, ensuring secure transmission between identity providers and services providers.
