Organization-based Authentication Login URLs

The organization for authentication can be specified in the User Interface Login URL by defining the org Parameter or the domain Parameter. The organization of a request for authentication is determined from the following, in order of precedence:

  1. The domain parameter.

  2. The org parameter.

  3. The value of the DNS Alias Names (Organization alias names) attribute in the Administration Service.

    After calling the correct organization, the authentication module(s) to which the user will authenticate are retrieved from the Organization Authentication Configuration attribute in the Core Authentication Service. The login URLs used to specify and initiate organization-based authentication are:


    http://server_name.domain_name:port/amserver/UI/Login
    http://server_name.domain_name:port/amserver/UI/Login?domain=domain_name
    http://server_name.domain_name:port/amserver/UI/Login?org=org_name

    If there is no defined parameter, the organization will be determined from the server host and domain specified in the login URL.
