Hub Auth Module
The Hub authentication module is the default authorization scheme for managing user account credentials. This module is built into your Hub installation and enabled by default.
The settings of this authentication module let you control how user manage their Hub credentials.
Settings
The settings are configured automatically when you install Hub.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Displays the type of service that is enabled for authentication in Hub. Built-in Authorization means that this module is a part of Hub and is not installed separately. |
| Name | Stores the name of the authentication module. Use this setting to distinguish this module from other authentication modules in the Auth Modules list. |
| Password Restore | Enables the option for users to reset a forgotten password. When enabled, Hub sends an email message with a link to restore their password to users who request a password reset. |
| Authentication | Displays the current status of the module. This status indicates whether the module is currently enabled or disabled. |
| Password Strength | Stores the password policy setting applied to Hub accounts. For more information about password strength and security, see Set a Password Policy. |
| Registration | Enables the creation of accounts for users who register themselves in Hub. If you disable this option, only users with existing Hub accounts are able to log in. |
| Auto-join Groups | Adds new users to a group when they first log in to Hub. You can select one or more groups.
New users that auto-join a group inherit all of the permissions assigned to this group. We recommend that you add users to at least one group. Otherwise, a new user is only granted the permissions that are currently assigned to the All Users group. |
| reCAPTCHA | Enables the use of reCAPTCHA on the registration page. |
| Audit | Links to the Audit Events page in Hub. There, you can view a list of changes that were applied to this authentication module. |
