How Users are Configured for Authentication

When an administrator creates users in System > Security, they specify authentication settings.

• For native authentication:

  • External Authentication Provider: In the drop-down menu, select (Not Used).

  • External Provider User Name: Leave this field blank.

• For an external identity provider:

  • External Authentication Provider: In the drop-down menu, select the external identity provider.

  • External Provider User Name: Enter the user name configured in the external identity provider in this field.

See About Managing Users and Groups.

If you are in a OneStream-hosted environment, see the Identity and Access Management Guide for information about authentication with OneStream IdentityServer.

For instructions on configuring authentication in a self-hosted environment, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.
