Login Profile Manager (.NET)

The login profile defines how an individual user logs into Relativity by setting user-specific options for each provider in the authentication profile. Each entry in the user's login profile corresponds to a matching entry in the environment's authentication profile, such as Provider in the environment for Password, Integrated Authentication, Active Directory, RSA, and Client Certificate.

The Login Profile Manager is use to configure Relativity's Authentication Profile and user Login Profiles.

  • Authentication Profile. The authentication profile is a collection of authentication providers which user login methods are created from. For example, the authentication profile is where you configure Password settings such as min and max password length. It also is where you define external identity providers that use the OpenID Connect and SAML protocols. How you configure your authentication profile determines how the look and behavior of the Relativity login page.
  • Login Profile. Whereas the authentication profile applies to the environment, each user has a Login Profile that defines the user-specific options for various providers on the authentication profile. Each entry in the user's Login Profile corresponds to a matching entry in the environment's authentication profile. Each user automatically has a login profile upon creation, and you can not delete that profile.

You can interact with the Login Profile Manager using the ILoginProfileManager interface. The methods on the interface allow you to retrieve and update a user's login profile and Relativity's authentication profile. You can also send out login invitation emails and manually set passwords.  

The Login Profile Manager (REST) contains the same methods and allows you to interact with authentication provider from browser-based and cross-platform applications

Login profile fundamentals

Before programmatically interacting with login profiles, familiarize yourself with the Relativity authentication provider user interface and review the information in the RelativityOne Documentation site. Note there is a strong correlation between the API operations and object properties and the user interface elements.

Use these guidelines when working with authentication methods:

  • The user must have the permissions required for working with Relativity login methods.
  • Login methods are interacted with through the user login method profile. The profile is the collection of all the methods for that user.
  • There can only be one method instance for each authentication provider.
  • A user can only have one of the following provider type methods active at any one time: Password, RSA, Active Directory.

LoginProfile profile = await loginProfileManager.GetLoginProfileAsync(1012311);
 
if(profile.OpenIDConnectMethods.SingleOrDefault(x => x.ProviderName.Equals("My OIDC Provider")) == null)
{
OpenIDConnectMethod oidcMethod = new OpenIDConnectMethod() {
IsEnabled = true,
ProviderName = "My OIDC Provider",
Subject = "0e58f970-2113-4a6e-8655-82c10e6d9412"
