After you create the user

After you select PassPort AM as the access management mode for a product, and create a PassPort user with an administration role for this product, PassPort becomes the user access controller.

When the user starts the product or attempts to connect to the product, the product sends an authentication request to PassPort. PassPort then checks the database for a user/password with the product administrator role. If all of these elements are correct, PassPort responds with a confirmation and the user can connect. If the user, password or role are not correct, the user is refused access.
