Single sign-on provides a secure way for users to access JMap Pro applications without authentication.
The Windows session authentication is used to automatically launch the JMap session.
Single sign-on is only available for Windows environments using Active Directory.
A special configuration is required on the Windows server and on each computer where single sign-on is wanted.
Note that the Enable single sign-on option must also be selected when deploying a JMap Pro application.
For more details on single sign-on configuration, refer to this article.
In JMap, user accounts and groups are used for access control and collaboration purposes. You can manage users and groups in JMap Admin by clicking on Users / Groups from the JMap Server section.
Two special users and two special groups always exist in JMap: administrator, anonymous, everyone, and authenticated users.
You can create a new user or group by pressing Create from the Users / Groups section. This will bring you to the new user or group configuration section. Note that you can only create users and groups if you are using the JMap account database or an external database that is not in read-only mode.
You can delete a user or group by selecting it in the list and pressing Delete.
You can modify an existing user or group by clicking on its name in the list. Note that once a user is created, its user name cannot be modified. To add users to a group, press and a list of available users will be displayed. Select the users to add to the group and press Add. To remove users from a group, select the users to remove and press .
Special users and groups
Administrator
The administrator user allows you to access JMap Admin following a new installation (this user has administration rights in JMap). This user’s password field is left blank, therefore, it is highly recommended to add a password as soon as possible. Read below for more information. The administrator user always exists in JMap and cannot be deleted.
Anonymous
The anonymous user allows users who are not authenticated to access certain resources. It can be used to configure access to a project without authentication, for instance. The anonymous user always exists in JMap and cannot be deleted. In addition, this user’s password (blank) cannot be modified.
Everyone
The everyone group is used to give all users access to a resource, provided they are authenticated. The everyone user is not displayed in the list of JMap groups. It is only visible in interfaces that allow you to define permissions, where applicable.
Authenticated users
The authenticated users group is used to allow all users except anonymous to access a resource. Authentication is required for this group.
Users
User name
Enter a unique user name (login name) for the new user. You will not be able to save it if the name already exists.
Password
Enter a password for the new user. The password field can be empty but this is not recommended. Passwords are encrypted. Users of JMap Web applications can change their password from the application. This is only possible if the user accounts are managed with JMap DB user manager.
Confirm password
Enter the password a second time to confirm.
Full name
Enter the full name (first name and last name) for the new user. This is optional.
Enter the email address of the new user. It is used when sending maps to the user. This is optional.
Hidden
Select this option if you want the new user to be hidden from user directories.
Groups
Group name
Enter a unique group name for the new group. You will not be able to save it if the name already exists.
