Configuring the Login Links

1. Open the User Authentication page (Configuration Menu > Discovery > Authentication > User Authentication) and select the Profiles tab (which is the default tab).
   
   Profiles Tab
2. In the Authentication Profiles section, activate the types of authentications that you want to provide to users. If multiple authentication types are enabled, the system shows the Parallel Login page to users.
3. To configure the help links on the Login page, see Configuring the Help Links.
4. In the Authentication Settings section, specify the following options:
   • Single Sign Out Upon Timeout – When selected, a single sign-out request is sent to the authentication system (CAS and SAML) when Primo VE times out. Otherwise, the system logs the user out of Primo VE and remains open to other campus applications.
   • Enable Silent Login – When enabled for CAS and SAML authentication methods, users who have already signed in to other campus applications are automatically signed in to Primo VE when they open a Primo VE session in a new window or tab with the same browser. Otherwise, users must sign in to Primo VE.

     • Currently, this option is not supported if you are using an Azure IDP.

     • If you have configured multiple authentication profiles, Primo attempts to apply the silent login with the first eligible profile only.

   • Enable extending the session – When selected, users will receive a message 60 seconds before timeout, and it will allow them to extend the session for another session period. If the users do not want to continue their session, they are signed out, the screen is refreshed, and the UI redirects to the configured URL for timeouts. By default, this field is disabled.

   • Enable extending the session to maximum – When selected, users will receive a message 60 seconds before timeout, and it will allow them to extend the session to the maximum period (which is 7 days and is not configurable). During this time period, users who decide to continue with the maximum session are automatically signed in when using the same device. If the users do not want to continue their session, they are signed out, the screen is refreshed, and the UI redirects to the configured URL for timeouts. By default, this field is disabled.

     If both the Enable extending the session and Enable extending the session to maximum parameters are enabled, enable extending the session to maximum has precedence.

   • Enable user setting for extending the session – When selected, this parameter adds the Automatically extend my session option to the My Library Card > Personal Details and Settings tab, which enables the users to extend their sessions automatically without being prompted to extend the session. By default, this field is disabled.

     When set to true, the display_user_settings parameter must also be set to true in the Discovery Customer Settings mapping table (Configuration > Discovery > Other > Customer Settings). For more details, see Discovery Customer Settings.
