1. Account Management

1.1 Create an account​

Description​

These operations must be made within the client for maximum user experience, but also directly on a website.

For now, creating an account with a basic username / password using a third-party federated identity provider will be suffisant. We do not want to handle all the password management, security concerns, etc.

Later, a user could login with a social identity provider.

Flow​

  1. The application presents a You're not logged page with username / password fields
  2. The application requests token to third party identity provider.
  3. The application show usual dashboard page

Prerequisites​

  • Use is not logged in.

1.2 Logout​

Description​

As far as the token is still valid, a user would not need to logout by himself. Being basically a local application, this token can be valid for a long period of time. A user could setup a shorter time-living token for his security, but not required.

Most user have a dedicated PC for simulation, therefore having to constantly logout is not a concern.

Flow​

  1. The user open the main menu and select the Logout option.
  2. The system invalidates login data (token, etc)
  3. The application shows a You're not logged page.

Prerequisites​

  • The user is logged in.
