Noninteractive Authentication

Noninteractive authentication is a type of authentication in Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO that reuses the login name and password from the Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop Login dialog box. Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO does not display a separate CRM Desktop SSO Login dialog box in the client. Noninteractive authentication includes the following functionality:

• Save password. The user can set the Save Password option on the Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop Login dialog box to one of the following values:
  • Include a check mark. Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO stores credentials in an encrypted form in the Windows Registry. It does not prompt the user for credentials the next time that the user starts Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop.
  • Do not include a check mark. Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO stores credentials in memory but not in the Windows Registry. It prompts the user for credentials the next time the user starts Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop. It prompts the user for credentials once for each SSO session. This behavior typically occurs during the first synchronization that occurs after the user restarts Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop.
• Detect session expiration. If an Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO session expires, then Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO reestablishes the session without involving the user. Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop SSO requires user interaction only if the user credentials are not valid.
• Use only the login name and password. Noninteractive authentication does not support multifactor authentication, such as requiring code from a security token in addition to the password.
• Detect invalid user password. The SSO script can detect if the user enters an invalid password and then react accordingly.
