Using AuthenticationProviders mode with WebAppControls

The security mode for OMI apps is set by the app developer. Most of the default apps bundled with System Platform use OS User or OS Group security (Kerboros-based) for user authentication.

A new authentication mode, AuthenticationProviders, has been added in System Platform 2023. App developers can override this setting to allow multiple authentication modes for their custom apps. However, the authentication mode must be explicitly set for the app. See WebControls SDK in the OMI SDK Help for more information.

Sharepoint App

When AuthenticationProviders security mode in implemented, the Sharepoint control does not necessarily follow the security mode implemented by the ViewApp, which uses the security mode set in the System Platform IDE. As a result, users may see their Azure AD credential shown in the Sharepoint pane, but their Kerberos credentials will be shown for the ViewApp logged-in user.
