Terms of service (ToC)

Airlock IAM can be used as a central enforcement point for terms of service (ToC) before applications can be accessed.

It provides the following features:

• Definition of multiple ToC texts in multiple languages.
• Ensure user consent to ToC before granting access to applications
• Re-assure user consent after changing ToC
• Different ToCs for different applications
• Each application may ask for multiple ToCs

• For each ToC, a tag (an arbitrary string) is defined in the configuration.

Examples:

• eBankingToC-2018-1
• ^portalDisclaimer-5
• For each accepted ToC the corresponding tag is stored in the user record.
• Each target application defines whether and which ToC are relevant for access.
• If an application is accessed via IAM, all ToC tags required by the application must be present for the user. If not, the corresponding ToCs are displayed after login.


In order to perform the check, the login application must be configured such that it is involved every time an application is accessed for the first time within a session.

Usually, this means that only the Airlock Gateway roles/credentials required for the accessed application are granted.

• Configuration: Use the Terms Of Services Step in the authentication (or authorization) flow of the affected applications.
