Signing In to Laserfiche

In order to begin working with a repository, you will need to log in to that repository. Logging in to the repository will give you access to its features.  What features you have access to view and modify will depend on the security settings configured for the user you are logging in as. The Login dialog box allows users to log in to the Laserfiche repository shown in parentheses in the dialog box title.

Options

  • Windows Authentication: Log in to the repository using Windows authentication. The Windows account for the user currently logged in to Windows will be used to connect to the repository.
  • Password Authentication: Log in to the repository using a Laserfiche user account or LDAP user account.

    Note: If you are logging in as an LDAP user account, you will need to provide your LDAP name in the format "Common Name@ServerProfile", and in the Password option you will need to provide your LDAP account password.

    • User name:  The name of the user that will be used to connect to the repository.
    • Password:  The password corresponding to the user under User name.
  • Sign in with Laserfiche Directory Server: If your installation is configured to allow single sign on using Laserfiche Directory Server, select this option. You will be redirected to a Laserfiche Directory Server sign in page, where you can provide your user name and password or select Windows Authentication. (This option is only available with Laserfiche Rio installations.)
  • Automatically sign in in the future: Automatically log the user in to the repository by storing the specified login information. If the login information is valid, this dialog box will not appear when logging in to a repository through the Laserfiche Administration Console.

Once you have logged in, you can change to a different user by selecting the repository and choosing Change User. This will change the user for the currently-selected repository, and if you sign in using Laserfiche Directory Server single sign-on the new user will be used for any repositories that you subsequently open, but any other existing connections will retain their original user credentials until you log out and log back in.

If you need to reset your password (for example, because your password policy is configured for periodic password expiration, or because an administrator has reset your password), you will be prompted to change your password at your next sign in.
