Page Description

Use the Trusted Parties page to configure the settings to allow Copia to accept requests from remote systems when users sign in using an HMAC-256 signed token. Using this feature, Copia and the third-party software (the trusted party) are each set up with a shared cryptographic key. This system allows the trusted party to add additional information about users to Copia. The trusted party will also cryptographically sign the information, so Copia knows that it is coming from a trusted source. This way, Copia can accept the credentials from the remote system without having to send the password across.

For more information, please review the "Customer Guide to Orchard Copia Trusted Party Authentication" document on the Orchard Software website. Note that you will need to sign into the site in order to read the article. If you do not have an account to sign in, please speak with your System Administrator or contact Orchard Software Technical Support at (800) 571-5835 or support@orchardsoft.com.
