Logging in
Logging in to UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin is controlled by the IIS and ASP .Net Web.config settings. The login pages handle the logic used to decide whether users are authenticated based on their NT user account or their UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin user names and passwords. To configure UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin login behavior, see Configuring for single sign-on.
Once a user has been authenticated, the Login.Class logs into DPM. Web activities are responsible for calling the Login.Class. This is hidden in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin Application Framework that is provided in the DDL as an aid for developing UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin activities.
If you start UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin by typing //server_name/, and the server name contains any characters other than letters, numbers, hyphen, and dot, the login attempt fails. This is because Internet Explorer prevents servers whose names contain characters other than these from setting cookies. To use the server with UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin, you must either change its name, or refer to it using its IP address or as localhost.
Tickets
A ticket is needed to switch between activities without having to log in again and to support web services. The ticket is stored as an encrypted cookie. Web activities are responsible for storing and retrieving the ticket. This is hidden in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin Application Framework.
