Question Summary
What is the authentication and authorization process used by OMS?
Information
Here's a summary of the user authentication process used by OMS:
Authentication
1. Send the user to the Microsoft AD login screen.
2. Microsoft AD captures email and password and verifies the user's group.
Authorization
3. On successful authentication, the user login (email) is used to find out which territories the user has access to from the OMS API.
4. The user is routed directly into the territory (most cases) OR a list of assigned territories is returned (uncommon - if they have access to more than one territory the user selects from the territory list - NHQ or Devnext users).
5. The user's permissions for the territory are retrieved during routing.
6. The user lands on the OMS Homepage and the appropriate menu options are loaded.
