Authentication

  • All iManage Work Server 10.2+ Authentication requests are initiated by imDocShare SharePoint and imDocShare Teams app.
  • Microsoft Teams will request imDocShare app (setup as Teams Personal app or Team Channel Tab) to authenticate-
    • imDocShare loads and authenticates against iManage Work service
    • imDocShare caches the authentication token and is used to communicate with iManage Universal API.
  • This method applies to upcoming features like imDocShare Messaging Extension.
  • For upcoming features like imDocShare Bot, the authentication will happen again at KLoBotand KLoBot persists this token and related information for handling voice+text based queries to imDocShare bot.

Security

  • All communication are SSL certified HTTPS requests.
  • CORS is enabled to close request from unknown sources.
  • Authentication is not executed by imDocShare, instead it is forwarded to iManage or Single-Sign on Identity Provider.
  • imDocShare Admin App is secured with valid Admins and valid Domainslist.
