Login Process

The login process works as follows:

    B --> C{User type?}:::avalon
    C -- Local user --> D[Backend hashes the password<br>using a secure algorithm]:::avalon
    D --> E[Compare the hashed password<br>with the one stored in the database]:::avalon
    E -->|Match| F[Authentication successful ✅]:::avalon
    E -->|No match| G[Error: invalid credentials ❌]:::avalon
    C -- LDAP user --> H[Backend forwards credentials<br>to the LDAP server]:::avalon
    H --> I[LDAP server validates user credentials]:::ldap
    I -->|Success| F
    I -->|Failure| G

1. The Avalon UI sends the user’s login and password securely via HTTPS.

2. The Avalon Backend determines the authentication method:

   • Local users: the backend hashes the password and compares it to the stored hash in the database.
   • LDAP users: the backend forwards the credentials to the LDAP server, which handles the authentication.

3. Depending on the result:

   • ✅ Authentication succeeds
   • ❌ Authentication fails

Note

Once you have successfully logged in, you will be automatically redirected to the Tenant tab.

At this stage, you cannot yet access the Production tab because no tenant has been selected.

From here, you can only perform the following actions:

• Log out
• Select a tenant
• Edit your profile (Backoffice → Profile)
• Import a new license
