Application Authentication Overview

We support the following authentication methods:

• Built-in user management

• LDAP (not supported in SaaS instances)

• OpenID Connect

• SAML

Enforcement of a single authentication method 

Hyperscience enforces the use of a single authentication method in the following versions:

Authentication Sessions

v31 and earlier

In v31 and earlier, on-premise / private cloud and SaaS instances use stateless sessions. Information about user sessions is stored in cookies. 

v32 and later

In v32 and later, on-premise / private cloud and SaaS instances use stateful sessions. Information about user sessions is stored in the database. When a user logs out on one browser or device, they will only be logged out on that particular browser or device.

Stateful sessions allow us to:

• Increase the security levels of the application.

• Improve user experience.
