Logging in
Users can log in to Automation Suite with:
-
A user account previously created in Automation Suite
-
A user account under a Windows Active Directory group that was previously added from the Users page Adding directory users
By default, the [NTLM authentication protocol][1] is used. To switch to [Kerberos][2], see this page.
-
A user account under an Azure Active Directory group that was previously added from the Users page.
Note: We recommend only using one out of Azure AD or Windows AD on the same Automation Suite instance.
Logging in with the same user on a different machine or browser session disconnects the user from the first machine/session.
You can also set up your environment to automatically log in to Automation Suite, by selecting the Force automatic login with this provider checkbox when configuring SSO.
If automatic login is enabled, when accessing an Automation Suite URL without being authenticated, Automation Suite tries to automatically log you in with your current directory credentials, without redirecting to the Login page.
If automatic login is disabled, you are redirected to the Login page and have to choose to log in with a different method to log in with a directory account.
Account lockout: If account lockout is enabled for your organization, after repeated failed login attempts, you are locked out for a certain amount of time. The number of allowed attempts and the lockout duration are defined by the Account lockout settings.
This login method is only available for Automation Suite if authentication is enabled for the external provider you are using.
Also, your directory user or a directory group of which you are a member must first have been added in Automation Suite from the Users page,
Automation Suite opens and access is provided to the different services according to your assigned roles.
Account lockout: If account lockout is enabled for your organization, after repeated failed login attempts, you are locked out for a certain amount of time. The number of allowed attempts and the lockout duration are defined by the Account lockout settings.
