Internal IdP authentication

Internal IdP authentication stores credentials in the database. Credentials are entered on a web login page, and are matched against the Transtream IdP database to grant or deny access. See Users for details of adding Transtream users in the Administration App. The web login page includes a Forgot password? link by default, and can, if enabled, allow self registration.

Internal IdP authentication is the default mode, and it is always the mode used for Designer and Product Admin URLs. The alternative, SAML, only authenticates runtime Apps, such as login requests to Warehouse or Desktop. For detail, see SAML.

When operating with Forms no additional setup is required; if no SAML configuration is installed, the product is automatically in Forms authentication mode.

FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards)

FIPS-compliant algorithms are used for encryption, hashing and signing within this software. FIPS can be enabled and disabled in a user's personal operating system; they limit the number of algorithms over the entire operating system, and affect all software that is installed on it. Transtream uses the FIPS-compliant password hashing algorithm to ensure any sensitive data submitted by a user (e.g., log-in passwords) is kept secure. Transtream is not fully FIPS-compliant unless every user changes their password to ensure the updated algorithm is used.

Problems Logging In?

If you experience problems when logging in this will be a result of a non FIPS-compliant algorithm. To fix the issue:

1. Disable FIPS within your operating system.
2. Re-install Transtream and change your password.
3. Enable FIPS again
