The default authentication flow requires users to pick their unique username and password when signing in. Some systems offer to enter email or phone number as a username instead. XM^online provides an alternative to both and allows customers to sign in using multiple login identifiers.
Anylogin functionality enables customers to sign in the system using a username or email address, or phone number (plus password, of course). Customers are free to insert any of pre-configured login types into login form’s username field.
By default XM^online offers three ways of authentication:
- Email and Password
- Phone number and Password
- Username and Password
Besides users are able to sign in for XM^online using their social network credentials, such as Linkedin, Facebook, Google, Twitter.
Anylogin is an out-of-the-box authorization mechanism that is available to all customers by default. Once system user has specified his username, phone number, email at the system account settings he can use any of this information as login credentials.
Multitenancy is an architectural feature of XM^online allowing to provide a dedicated space (tenant) for each customer. A tenant serves to a group of users with specific privileges who share common access to their exclusive instance. It can be compared with a turn-key property rental in an apartment building, where a lodger does not have to be concerned about engineering the base, connecting to the facilities, accessing the entrance of the building and so on because he gets all public utility services with his flat.
The multitenant architecture allows customers to get a dedicated software with its data, configuration, individual functionality, user management and access rules. Such multitenant approach provides a possibility to various customers use XM^online common environment in own way, since each of them having a dedicated secure space. Each tenant is isolated and invisible to other tenants so customers do not have a feasibility to access each other's data. Information security is supported on the architectural level – the distinction between the tenants has been accomplished during the solution design.
The Multitenancy provides a high level of customization to satisfy company’s needs. XM^online supports customization of the user interface, business logic, workflow and access control.
