5.1. Logging Into LincDoc

You access the LincDoc system by accessing a URL that is specific to your environment. When this URL is accessed, your environment's LincDoc login screen appears, allowing you to specify a username and password.

Note: Your URL is created and assigned to you during the initial LincDoc configuration phase. If you do not know your URL, contract your local LincDoc administrator or Technical Support.

About the Login Screen

The login screen is your initial point of entry. It allows you to specify the following information:

In the following example, three providers are listed (and highlighted), along with the typical username and password text boxes.
For more information on providers and how to configure them, see Using Authentication Providers.

Configuring Your Login URL

You can adjust your URL to show only specific information, such as only the providers associated with a particular client ID. In addition, you can remove the ability of the user to choose a provider, and instead specify the provider directly in the URL.

Displaying Providers Specific to Your Client ID

If, by default, your LincDoc login screen displays a large list of providers, it may be helpful to limit this provider list to only those associated with a specific client ID.

In the following example, notice how a large number of providers appears above the username text box.

You can reduce the number of displayed providers by specifying a client ID directly in your login URL. 

  1. Verify that you know the name of the client ID you want to use.
  2. Add the name of the client ID to the end of your standard URL, after the "/login" portion.  Be sure to separate it from the standard URL with a forward slash (/).
    For example, if your client ID is "forms1", your URL would appear similar to the following (as shown in a Chrome web browser):
  3. Press ENTER.
    Your login screen is updated, and only the providers associated with the specific client ID are shown, as well as any client ID-specific branding (in the example below, a custom login logo is being used).
     

Specifying Providers Directly

If you want to verify that users only access a specific provider, or remove any possible confusion caused by displayed multiple providers, you can adjust your LincDoc URL to automatically use a specific provider. 

  1. Verify that you have specified your client ID in your URL, as described in Displaying Providers Specific to Your Client ID above.
  2. Add the provider name to the end of the URL. Be sure to separate it from the previously defined client ID entry with a forward slash (/).
    For example, if your client ID is "forms1" and the provider you want to specify is called "system", your URL would appear similar to the following (as shown in a Chrome browser):
  3. Press ENTER.
    The resulting login screen does not allow a user to specify a provider, but simply shows the username and password text boxes.
