External Authentication

Thinfinity® Workspace incorporates a mechanism to validate users in a corporate environment so that the user will not need to authenticate every time they access Thinfinity Workspace.

Authenticating Against Thinfinity Workspace from External Applications

You can authenticate to Thinfinity Workspace using one of the following methods:

• Username and Password

• Username and API Key

When making a call to Thinfinity Workspace, you can include the authentication information directly in the URL. The format for authenticating this way is as follows:

http[s]://[username]:[password or apikey]@127.0.0.1:8443

Encryption

Regardless of whether you use a password or API key for authentication, safeguarding this information is crucial. To ensure data confidentiality, Thinfinity Workspace allows external applications to dynamically negotiate a key using the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange method for subsequent encryption.
