Security Module

Specify the security module to use, by default, for all configured sections in the Organization. Security settings determine how (or whether) the ESS should verify a user's credentials when accessing EchoCenter, EchoPlayer, or other content. Security modules may have custom names. 

Allow All does not authenticate users for access, and therefore implements the Standard version of the EchoCenter.

Authentication Required uses either the ESS user information or an external Trusted System such as CAS or Shibboleth to authenticate users. You can also configure the LMS (like Blackboard or Moodle) as as trusted system to authenticate users. This configuration requires users to access EchoCenter through the LMS.

LDAP allows you to use an external LDAP system for user authentication. See LDAP Authentication for more information.

• If you are using LTI-Based Publishing, you MUST use either LDAP or Authentication Required as the security module for sections to be presented through an LTI integrated system.

Seamless Only requires the use of an LMS (such as Blackboard or Moodle) or other third party system to pass through user credentials and allow user access.

• With Seamless Only, users can only access Echoes through the third party system and only if the appropriate building blocks or plug-ins have been installed. Echo360 provide downloads for supported systems via the Customer Portal.
