Valid Credentials

When authentication is required, requests must have a valid MashZone NextGen session for an existing authenticated user or must supply either user credentials or digital certificate for authentication or an SSO token or ticket for a user that has been authenticated by the SSO solution. MashZone NextGen uses certificates, tokens or tickets to obtain the user’s identity.

MashZone NextGen supports the following mechanisms to obtain user credentials or user IDs:

If an authenticated request has no MashZone NextGen session, MashZone NextGen starts a new session and generates a MashZone NextGen session cookie. See Sessions and Timeouts for more information.
