The first time a user accesses a runtime component--for example, Process Administrator, WorkSpace, Archive Viewer--the Process Execution Engine authenticates that user as
follows:
- The Engine compares the
security credentials provided in the component interface by the
participant with those stored in the the directory service.
-
If the credentials match, then the Engine authenticates the
user. This authentication is valid for the remainder of the
session.
-
The Engine sends the message of authentication to the
component.
