Configuration Guide

This guide provides instructions for various Autoform DM configuration tasks.

Authentication

Implement Single Sign-On for Autoform DM — To simplify the Autoform DM authentication process for users and third-party applications, you can use Autoform DM’s single sign-on (SSO) capability.

Configure Autoform DM to use LDAP — Autoform DM can be configured to use the Windows Active Directory to obtain user login credentials and even allocate group access. Once LDAP is set up correctly, all user management can be done externally from DM, and as a result, users can use their Windows login to access DM as long they are in the relevant active directory groups.

Encryption

Switch Autoform DM Between HTTP and HTTPS — When installing Autoform DM, HTTPS support is now enabled by default and the ability to provide custom HTTPS certificates for the server to use is provided. HTTPS support is ready with minimal configuration required to help increase security.

Configure Document Encryption — Autoform DM has application-level encryption for documents; specifically the ability to encrypt files that are stored in the archive. This feature adds an additional layer of security to help protect against unauthorized access or processing of sensitive data.
