User management in an environment with native authentication
Based on data input during installation, the Oracle Central Coding application creates an initial user and a password. This user can then log in to the Oracle Central Coding application and add new users.
New user accounts have a status of Inactive Never Used. Therefore, you can define the access privileges for users before allowing them access to the system. Before a new user can access the application, you must:
- Add the user to the system.
- Assign at least one role to the user.
- Assign the user to at least one work team (coders and approvers only).
- Activate the user.
For security, a Oracle Central Coding administrator can define three types of users on the [User Name] page. The Oracle Central Coding application authenticates each type as follows:
| User type | Authentication type |
|---|---|
|
Native |
User ID and password must match encrypted data from the Oracle Central Coding database. |
|
Windows |
User must be part of a Windows domain. Password must be validated by a Windows API. |
|
Certificate |
Password must be validated against a digital certificate. |
