How authentication works in login page

Hi ,

Could anyone explain me what exactly happens at the back end when we enter the username and password in the Administrator page. I mean how it authenticates.

Thanks,
Sathya

You may have to read and understand the code beneath WmRoot. Also can you tell us what exactly you are looking for?

This is also depending which repository the users are stored in:

  • IS locally
  • MWS (central users management)

Hi Mahesh and Holger ,

thanks for the response.

My question is what will be the sequence of steps takes place when we key in the credentials.

As Holger said, it will check in Central management and IS locally .But, I want to know how it checks .

Sorry for the silly question.

Thanks,
Sathya

HI Sathya,

I am not sure if you really want to know this as this might open a point where an attacker can try to intercept your credentials to perform malicious tasks on your servers.

Sometimes it is better not to know too much.

Hi Holger,

Could you please explain me the flow to my email id mentioned in the signature. I am curious to know the flow at the backend.

Thanks,
