Intro

Connhex Auth is the service responsible for managing user accounts and authentication.

Using Connhex Auth

Even though Connhex Auth is exposed - it needs to authenticate clients, after all - you won't probably need to use it. That's because we provide a configurable web interface for signup, registration and user profile.

If, however, you'd rather manage the authentication frontend yourself, here's the API.

Key concepts​

Identities​

The identity is the core entity1 of Connhex Auth: read more about it here.

Connhex Auth UI​

Connhex Auth is provided with a configurable sign-in and registration web user interface: this is the standard way of allowing users to interact with the service. Connhex Auth automatically generates a custom user interface based on:

  • schema-defined traits2
  • a single assets file, used to style the UI. This is also used to generate custom email templates for recovery, verification and notification purposes
