Standard Users and Login

When creating a system user that uses the standard authorization method, the password is stored in the internal system database.

Note

VOSS-4-UC uses the PBKDF2 algorithm with an SHA256 hash, a key stretching mechanism recommended by the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST), Computer Security Resource Center (CSRC).

Login URL and Page Theme

Standard users log in at the following URL: https://{hostname}/login

A login page page theme can be applied to the login page during the log in process. To do this, add a suffix ?theme={theme_name} where {theme_name} is an available theme.

Example: https://{hostname}/login/?theme=default

Username Format and Hierarchy

When logging in, the username can be entered in either of the following formats:

  • {username}@hierarchy
  • {email address}
  • {username}

Important

If logging in with just {username}, your username must be unique at the hierarchy level, else login fails. In this case, log in using either {username}@hierarchy or {email address}. Email address must be unique in the system.

Hierarchy is in dot notation and corresponds with the hierarchy to which the user belongs. The hierarchy level is the level at which the user is created. On the login form, the hierarchy is prefixed with sys.

Example: johndoe@sys.VS-OPS.VS-Corp.Chicago
