A Quick Overview of what you get from ADFS
To help understand what benefits are achieved by setting up ADFS, the following summary has been prepared so you can see the difference between an ADFS authenticated system and normal authentication.
Normal Authentication
- User opens login screen and enters Username and Password. There is a password reset option.
- Lucidity authenticates against the Username and Password that has been stored within Lucidity Access. If this authentication fails the user is unable to log in.

The user must be authenticated against the local network domain in order for ADFS to function. The user must have the same username within Active Directly and Lucidity Access so that Lucidity can determine what permissions to give the user when they log in using ADFS. Lucidity still includes a non-domain login option for times when the user wishes to access Lucidity but they are not logged onto the network. |
