Account settings
Once you logged in, there are a few settings that you can use to secure your data on Akselos Portal.
- Authentication Method
- Show Current Token
- Sign Out Everywhere
Authentication Method
Authentication is performed on the Akselos platform via a login page on the Akselos Portal website. Authentication is allowed with password or via OpenID Connect, and an organization may optionally enforce the use of OpenID Connect for its users. Akselos does not use basic authentication or any type of authentication in which passwords are stored or transmitted in plain text: all passwords and other user information is sent to the Akselos web server encrypted with HTTPS/TLS, and passwords are encrypted with the bcrypt library using standard practices. Authentication happens at the application level through the Akselos web server. A user's information, such as name, password (if any), OpenID Connect information (if any), and other data is stored on a database managed by Google Cloud Platform. This database is configured to be only accessible using TLS encryption and only by an IP whitelist limited to a small number of necessary servers.
