Security, Authentication, and Authorization

Logi Info provides a flexible mechanism, "Logi Security", for implementing and enforcing security in Logi applications. It's capable of authenticating users, enforcing roles, enabling different security privileges for different users, and controlling web page component visibility. It can also control data access, down to the row-, column-, and cell levels. Logi Security is described in detail in Logi Security.

Logi Info applications track every user's authentication status for each web request made. The best practice is to employ the Security element in the _Settings definition; it provides proper authentication and support for highly granular authorization to access reports, functionality, and data. The Security element is described in Working with Logi Security.

Logi SecureKey authentication technology provides integration for applications requiring secure access to a Logi application or embedded Logi components. It enables a "single sign-on" environment while enhancing security: user authorization is established and requests are made to Logi applications or embedded components using a special security key. SecureKey is discussed in Logi SecureKey Authentication.

Logi Security works with a variety of security scenarios. Specific examples of application and web server configurations for seven different scenarios is available in Logi Security Scenarios .
