There are various types of authentication available for accessing SEQTA. These are setup and configured during implementation.
More than one type of authentication can be enabled for each of the SEQTA products (i.e. SEQTA Teach, SEQTA Engage).
Internal Authentication: Internal authentication refers to SEQTA's built-in authentication.
-
The username and password are both stored in the user record in SEQTA. The forgot password link only works for Internal authentication for accounts with an email address associated.
Active Directory Authentication (LDAP etc): Active directory is an external system which some schools use to manage authentication.
- The username is stored in the user record in SEQTA. This needs to match the username for the person in Active Directory.
- The password field in the user record in SEQTA needs to be blank.
- The user requires to have a corresponding account in Active Directory.
- The user record may need to be in a specific group in Active Directory.
Google Authentication: Google authentication allows users to log on using their Google credentials.
- The user's Google email address is stored in the user record in SEQTA.
- The password field in the user record in SEQTA needs to be blank.
SAML Authentication:
- The user requires a corresponding account in their identity provider (i.e. Azure AD, ADFS).
- Mobile apps SEQTA Learn and SEQTA Engage may still use internal authentication.
- More than one authentication method may be available when logging in (i.e. SAML authentication and Internal authentication).
- If required, the login page may redirect to the identity provider to authenticate.
