Authentication Types
Dime.Scheduler supports two ways for users to sign in. Pick the one that fits how your customer manages identities.
Microsoft Entra ID​
Users sign in with their Microsoft credentials, and Azure passes a set of claims to Dime.Scheduler. Dime.Scheduler stores no credentials of its own and works only with the data the administrator has granted. The Entra ID App Registration needs nothing more than the user's email address to authenticate.
Users can grant consent individually, or the administrator can grant it on behalf of the whole organization. For production, use this consent link. To grant access to users on the sandbox, use this consent link.
This works much like signing in to other sites with a Facebook or Google account. There are real benefits for everyone. Users avoid keeping separate credentials for yet another application (and the password resets that come with it), and security improves because identity management rests with Microsoft, who can devote far more resources to it than any single vendor.
Forms​
Forms authentication is a standard, password-protected system that adheres to industry security standards. Administrators create users manually in the provided setup view. Each new user receives a welcome email and is prompted to set their password on first sign-in.
If a user forgets their password, there is no cause for concern. The login view includes a link to securely reset it.
