Hub Authentication Module

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.

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.

When enabled, additional settings that you can use to manage users who register their own accounts in Hub are shown.

For a detailed description of these settings, see Registration Settings.

Audit

Links to the Audit Events page in Hub. There, you can view a list of changes that were applied to this authentication module.

Auto-join groups

Automatically adds new users to groups when they register their own accounts in to Hub. You can select one or more groups. New users that auto-join a group inherit all the permissions that are assigned to this group.

We recommend that you add users to at least one group. Otherwise, new users are only granted the permissions that are currently assigned to the All Users group. Do not use this option to add users to groups that grant unnecessary access to sensitive data.

reCAPTCHA

Enables the use of reCAPTCHA on the registration page. This feature protects your installation from registration bots.

When you enable this option, you need to register Hub in the Google reCAPTCHA key management console. The input fields that store the site key and secret key are located on the Auth Modules > Common Settings page.

To learn how to configure reCAPTCHA for self-registration, see CAPTCHA Settings.

Require password change

Registers a request to reset the passwords for all users who log in with their Hub credentials. For more information, see Require New Passwords for Hub Logins.

Set default

Designates Hub as the default authentication module for your installation. Only one authentication module can be set as the default at any time. If another module is currently set as the default, that state is cleared.

When built-in Hub authentication is used as the default, unauthenticated users are always directed to the Hub login page. This is the same behavior users encounter when none of the available authentication modules are used as the default.

This option is only shown when Hub is not designated as the default authentication module.

Clear default

Removes Hub as the default authentication module for your installation.

If none of the available authentication modules are designated as the default, unauthenticated users are always directed to the Hub login page.

This option is only shown when Hub is currently designated as the default authentication module.

Disable module

Disables the Hub authentication module. When you disable the built-in authorization service, users must log in with credentials from a third-party service.

This option is only shown when the authentication module is currently enabled.

Enable module

Enables the Hub authentication module. This gives users the option to log in with credentials stored in their Hub accounts.

This option is only shown when the authentication module is currently disabled.

Test login

Lets you enter a username and password to test the Hub authentication service.

Delete module

Removes the authentication module from Hub. Use only when you have configured additional authentication modules that let users log into your Hub installation.
