User Authentication
The People Planner user authentication looks up "the user" in the People Planner database User table to determine if "the user" has permission to run People Planner.
Because none of the People Planner applications provides a login dialog, "the user" is determined in one of the following ways:
-
Windows Authentication. "the user" = The Windows user name
-
People Planner Silent Sign In (SSI). "the user" = User name encoded in token
-
Azure Authentication. "the user" = UPN returned by Azure
User information is stored in the People Planner database's User table. Users are normally imported from Maconomy as a part of the Master Data import, but they can also be imported from an Excel or CSV file.
User authentication is essentially invisible to the user because it happens "under the hood." A user only becomes aware that something went wrong if the user authentication fails.
- Windows Authentication
- People Planner Silent Sign In (SSI)
- Azure Authentication
Attention: This Azure configuration is only needed if you are using Azure Authentication for People Planner without a Maconomy System. If you have configured Maconomy to use Azure you can configure People Planner to use UPN for authentication.
