Authentication provider settings


Besides local sign-in (with the users registered in PassMan), PassMan can integrate with external systems: for the users registered there, it has those systems do the sign-in (authentication).

Supported providers

Sign-in providers

You set up the sign-in providers in Padmin, under System settings > Authentication.

Basic sign-in data

These settings apply generally, that is, to sign-in with any provider.

Login expiry time

How long users can work in PassMan by default without having to sign in again. Users can override the default set in Padmin in their own profile settings, unless Forced is selected. If Forced is selected, the own setting of every user who signs in after the change is overwritten, and the value set here applies to them.

PassMan URL

This link appears in notifications and email reports, and points to where PassMan can currently be reached.

Default provider

The PassMan sign-in page shows the default provider; the other providers can be chosen from a list. Set the most used provider as the default. If a user changes the provider at sign-in, it is saved, and it is their default provider the next time they sign in.

Select NEW to create a new provider, choosing its type from the list that appears.

The provider-specific settings are described on these pages:
