Login and Logout

The login page appears when you try to access pages that require authentication and do not have an authenticated active SignServer session.

SignServer supports two different ways for a user to authenticate themselves: Client Certificate or OpenID Connect (OIDC). If no active session is found, you are prompted to select between the two authentication methods.

Client Certificate

The client certificate for accessing the desired page is fetched from the Web Browser and presented to you. To log in using the presented client certificate, you can press the Login button located below the client certificate information.

OpenID Connect (OIDC)

To log in using OIDC, you need an OIDC token. By pressing Login using OIDC provider, you are redirected to the configured Identity Provider (IdP) where user authentication can take place. The response from the IdP is stored as a cookie throughout the session.

For more information on how to set up the OIDC login, see Set up OpenID Connect (OIDC) using Auth0.

Logout

The Logout button appears in the top right corner of the main page when you have an active SignServer session. In the logout page, end the active session by pressing the Logout button, which ends the current session’s authentication and returns you to the main page.
