UsersΒΆ
Page that lists users known to Yamcs. There are two categories of users:
- Internal users
Users whose identity is managed directly by Yamcs using a password hash stored in the Yamcs database.
- External users
Users whose identity is managed by an external system, such as an LDAP server or Keycloak server.
When an external user logs in to Yamcs, that user's username and metadata of interest (display name, email) is synced into the Yamcs database.
Note
Some installations make use of YAML AuthModule. While this uses a local etc/users.yaml configuration file, it counts as an external user because the password verification is managed with YAML instead of the Yamcs database.
