CPMS ID
CPMS ID is a platform for authenticating and identifying ContactsLaw accounts.
It allows users to log in at a single point of presence to access to several different components of ContactsLaw, such as:
- Desktop App
- Web App
- DMS App
- Office Add-Ins
- Third-party integrations
CPMS ID is implemented using IdentityServer4, an industry-leading framework that is robust, reliable and secure.
OAuth 2.0
CPMS ID supports Open Authentication (OAuth) 2.0, an industry standard which not only allows users to seamlessly access all components of ContactsLaw, but also provides a mechanism for third-party integrations to perform actions on behalf of other users.
Open ID Connect
CPMS ID also supports Open ID Connect, which allows users to log in to ContactsLaw using external providers (such as Microsoft or Google accounts). This reduces the number of passwords that users need to remember and allows you to leverage additional security features offered by those providers.
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is also supported, using an authenticator app with time-based one-time passwords (TOTP); e.g. Microsoft Authenticator. We currently require 2FA in order to access ContactsLaw. Third-party integrations can opt-in to this requirement.
Note: Open ID Connect bypasses CPMS ID's 2FA in favour of its own mechanisms. We recommend that you enable 2FA for any external accounts that you use to log in to ContactsLaw.
