Login to the app

This chapter describes the options for logging into EaInfoportT3. The portal supports several login methods, which are described in the following chapters. Login can be manual (for example, using a user account or a visitor account) or automatic (in the background), using Active Directory. A user can log in to the application using their login credentials, or as a visitor (the visitor function will be described later in this manual).

Login with Active Directory

Initial login by administrator

Login with a user account

In order for a user to log in with a user account (i.e., a username and password), the user must first be set up with an account by the portal administrator, or by the administrator of the individual repositories.

Note that the portal user accounts are separate from the Enterprise Architect repository user accounts.
In other words, a portal user does not have to have an account in the Enterprise Architect repository and vice versa.

If a user wants to log in with his or her account, he or she uses the username and password assigned by the administrator.
He fills in these details in the corresponding fields and presses the login button.

If the user succeeds in logging in, the application home page with the main menu is displayed.

The design of the main user interface may vary depending on the permissions that the user has set.
However, at a minimum, the following items will always be available:

Setting up the user's own account
User logout

The meaning of these items will be explained later in this manual.

Login with Active Directory

In addition to logging in with a username and password, EaInfoportT3 supports login via AD/LDAP.

If EaInfoportT3 is configured via AD/LDAP, the user does not enter a username and password but is logged in in the background. The login form (with fields for entering your name and password) will therefore not be displayed at all. Instead, it will display the introductory page with the main menu (similar to the situation after logging in with the name and password, see the relevant chapter).
In order to successfully log into EaInfoportT3, the user must be created in EaInfoportT3 in the user management with the same username as in Windows.

Attention: If a user logs in incorrectly several times (depending on the domain policy settings), he/she may consequently block access to Windows.

Login with a Visitor Account

Administrators of individual repositories can allow access to their repositories using a Visitor Account.
This technical account does not require a username and password to log in when using it.
The repository administrator can set which data a user can see in the repository and which functionalities to use when logged in under this account. He/she can also turn off this account completely.

The visitor account is, in fact, a shared technical account and as such has some limitations:

A user logged in under this account cannot change personal data in the user settings, i.e. username, email, name and department.
The password for this account cannot be changed.
This account cannot be set as the owner.

Initial login by administrator

The administrator logs in for the first time using the login credentials:

Username: admin
Password: P@ssw0rd
