Support of federated identity for Exact Globe+ WMS

Introduction

This document describes how to configure Exact Globe+ WMS for used with Auth0 or WAAD.

Setup

To use Exact Globe+ WMS with either Auth0 or WAAD no special configuration is required. If Exact Globe+ is setup for federated identity, WMS will also run using Auth0 or WAAD.

Exact Globe+ WMS also uses windows services for background tasks. These windows services do not support Auth0 or WAAD, but only support windows authentication. This means that on the dedicated machine which is required for Exact Globe+ WMS windows services and where Exact Globe+ is installed, Exact Globe+ needs to be setup for windows authentication. By default Exact Globe+ is configured for windows authentication.

This also requires one user to be setup in Exact Globe+ for windows authentication so it can be used by these windows services. So the username setup in Exact Globe+ for this should not be in UPN format, but the active directory user name should be specified as username in Exact Globe+.

In essence this means there is no difference in setup on this machine compared to the default setup for windows authentication. 

Note: The need for a dedicated machine for these windows services is always a requirement and not specific to the use with federated identity.
