Authentication Service User Interface

The Authentication Service user interface provides a means for gathering the credentials needed by the Authentication Service to validate a user. In most cases, the Authentication Service user interface is accessed by entering a login URL into the Location Bar of a web browser. A URL parameter may be appended to the end of the URL to define, for example, specific authentication types or redirection URLs. The format of this URL is:

http://OpenSSO-server..domain_name:port/service_deploy_uri/UI/Login?parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2&parameterN=valueN

During installation, the service_deploy_uri is configured as opensso.

After entering this URL, login screens are dynamically displayed based on the invoked authentication module, and a user is able to communicate an identifier and password, for example, back to the Authentication Service to receive (or not receive) validation.
