Workflow Users

Workflow Users are kept in a so-called security system which can be defined in ivy.yaml. Each application defines in app.yaml which security system is used. There are two types of security systems:

• Internal Security System: Used to manage the users directly on the Axon Ivy Engine. There is only one Internal Security System, which is called Ivy Security System. No further settings are available for this Security System. This is also the default Security System for application which has no security system defined.

• External Security System: Used to synchronize users from a name and directory service such as Active Directory. In addition to the users in the External Security System, new users can also be manually added and managed as with an Ivy Security System. The following external users management systems are supported:

  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • Novell eDirectory
