How CDMS and CIAS work together, as a single unit in one process or as separate services. With flows walked through from login to the database. A good starting point for newcomers.
You can run CDMS and CIAS in two ways. In the subject area, both ways behave the same. Technically, they differ in who calls whom and how:
The modules, the parties in a request and the key terms in pictures, before we get into the flows.
The two topologies of CIAS next to CDMS: embedded in one process or as a separate service. What runs in each, who calls whom, why both must behave the same in the subject area — and how that relates to the operating mode of the data storage, SINGLE or MULTI.
Flows walked through across all parties: from login to the row in the database, the path of the token, the tenant check in both operating modes, and what happens when something fails.
What happens before the first request arrives: cold start, registering the modules' roles and attributes with CIAS, a new tenant from start to finish, and the database schemas.
Typical business cases from start to finish, across CIAS and CDMS. Every scenario links to the individual pages.
