Technical Concept

Transparent Logon installs a webserver for each environment it needs to serve. Every server runs on the same server as an instance on a separate port. Transparent Logon is installed next to JDEdwards and does not block direct usage of JDEdwards like a reverse proxy does.

The steps the transparent logon instance makes when an user wants to sign in to JDEdwards:

Identify the user through
- windows domain authentication
- Federation with SAML2 with a identity provider
- Federation with OpenID Connect with a identity provider
Create credentials which JDEdwards understand
- Set the user password to a random value
- Generate a JSON Web Token
Redirect the user with the new credentials
