KGS SecurityProvider-Bundle

Introduction

The KGS SecurityProvider-bundle adds LDAP(S)-capabilities to the KGS software solutions, as well as the ability to add a user-password-list in order to whitelist access.

You may override the provided username-password-combinations of the KGS Webconsole by configuring the SecurityProvider-bundle.

Servlet-Endpoints like “/contentserver” or “/ilm” are not secured that way. Only the access to the Management Console is restrictable with the KGS Security Provider.

System Requirements

KGS SecurityProvider-bundle is being shipped with a variety of Java-based KGS Products (e.g.: KGS ContentServer4Storage).

Possible SecurityProvider-Scenarios

With KGS SecurityProvider-bundle you may choose from the following scenarios:

  • Creating a User-Password-List which allows the defined user to use the KGS application after entering the credentials

  • Binding your KGS application to your LDAP(S)-system which grants every user who exists (in configured LDAP-Tree / Filter) and is being authenticated by LDAP(S) access to the KGS application

  • Granting access to a limited number of user existing in your LDAP(S)-system in case only a specific group of users in a LDAP-Tree should be granted access.
