Authentification

Authentication is a security mechanism designed to validate the identity of a user, service or device using a set of identification factors. This process makes it possible to control access to systems by comparing the identifiers provided by the user with those stored in a database or on an authentication server. In this way, it helps to ensure the security of corporate systems, processes and information.

At first, only the LDAP authentication method was available. Other systems have been added to Canopsis over the years, to better adapt to the technologies present in your information systems:

• CAS in 2018
• SAML in 2022
• Oauth2 / OpenID in 2024

For more information on authentication, and all the other features of our open-source hypervision solution, visit the Canopsis documentation. Any unanswered questions? You can also contact our technical team via the website form.
