Silent Employee Authentication Node

The Silent Employee Authentication node enables seamless Active Directory-based employee authentication in flows. It automatically authenticates users who are already logged into other IF systems (like MyPages) using their AD credentials, without requiring additional login steps. If no active employee session is found, it will prompt for credentials.

Use Case

Use Silent Employee Authentication node when you want to:

• Seamlessly authenticate employees using their Active Directory credentials without additional login prompts.
• Integrate employee authentication into flows for users already logged into other IF systems (like MyPages).
• Provide a fallback prompt for credentials if no active employee session is found.

Don't use it when:

• You need to authenticate non-employee users or external users.

UI Examples

TellUs

Only output, no UI

WebChat

Only output, no UI

Behavior

• Blocking: the node waits for the user to be authenticated
• Produces output: creates multiple output properties based on user account details
• Supports validation: can be marked as required/optional
• Moves to the next node after authentication is confirmed
