Authentication and Mapping Principle
The connection to HOPEX includes the following phases:
• Phase 1: Authentication
The authentication phase consists in checking that the person connecting to HOPEX exists and that his/her identification is valid. This authentication can be independent of the HOPEX repository.
Once validated, this authentication phase is not called later at the mapping phase.
• Phase 2: Mapping
The mapping phase consists in defining the profile with which the authenticated person will connect to the application.
Without a profile assigned the connection is refused to the user, even authenticated.
• Phase 3: Connection and access to the repository
Once authentication and mapping phases are validated, the person can connect to the application and access the repository.
The person selects the repository and the profile with which he/she wants to connect.
