What is an Authentication approach?

Authentication approach is the validation done, based on the log on type used by HxGN SDx to connect and obtain data from the TruView Enterprise / TruView Cloud application server.

HxGN SDx supports the following authentication approaches to connect to the TruView server:

  • Single user

  • Multiuser

The type of authentication approach used to validate the user access is decided based on the option selected when the laser scan server object was created.

What is the difference between Single user and Multi user authentication approaches?

Single user

Multiuser

HxGN SDx Web Client uses single user account to access the data in TruView Enterprise or Cloud Server.

HxGN SDx Web Client allows multiple users to access the data in TruView Enterprise or Cloud Server.

HxGN SDx user credentials are provided and validated when creating the laser scan object using the Web Client. For more information, see Create a laser scan server.

HxGN SDx user needs to enter the credentials in the TruView Enterprise or Cloud log on window displayed in the Web Client when trying to access the data in TruView Enterprise or Cloud server.

The credentials are validated only if the user is logging for the first time. The user id asked to re-enter the credentials only when the TruView Enterprise or Cloud server restarts or the refresh token expires. For more information, see Create a laser scan server.

For more detailed information about the authentication approaches supported by the TruView Enterprise or Cloud, see TruView Development help.
