  note: >-
    Derived mechanically from OpenAPI is impossible here — Teranet publishes no OpenAPI, Swagger or
    any other machine-readable contract, so this profile is searched from documentation only. There
    are no securitySchemes to aggregate.
model: >-
  Teranet authenticates people and licensed organizations, not applications. Access to every
  Teranet surface — Teraview, OnLand, GeoWarehouse, Teranet eXpress and the Teranet Connect API —
  is gated on a commercial account that must be established before any credential exists. There is
  no self-serve credential issuance, no API key console, no OAuth authorization server, no OIDC
  discovery document and no public token endpoint. This is the defining characteristic of Teranet's
  API posture: the authentication barrier is contractual before it is technical.
schemes:
- name: Teraview account
  type: proprietary
  description: >-
    Account Name plus User Name plus password. The Account Name identifies the licensed
    organization (a law firm or vendor); the User Name identifies the individual within it. Both
    are issued by Teranet at account setup, not chosen self-serve.
  factors:
  - account name
  - user name
  - password
  source: https://www.teraview.ca/en/teraview-training-environment/
- name: RSA hardware token
  type: otp
  description: >-
    A second factor supplied by an RSA token with a user-set PIN, required for production
    Teraview access. In the published training environment any six digits are accepted as the PIN.

- name: Email-based sign-in with enhanced MFA
  type: proprietary
  status: rolling-out
  description: >-
    Announced 2026-07-20 as an enhancement to the Teraview sign-in experience: email-based login
    replacing the Account Name / User Name pair, with Multi-Factor Authentication enhancements.
    Supersedes the RSA-token model over time.

- name: Teranet Connect licensed integration
  type: proprietary
  applies_to: teranet:teranet-connect
  description: >-
    Teranet Connect is described by Teranet as providing "secure access" over XML and Web services
    interfaces, but the credential model is not documented publicly. Access is granted only under a
    licence agreement negotiated with a Teranet account manager, and transactions are billed
    against the licensee's existing Teraview Deposit Account — meaning the Deposit Account is the
    effective identity and billing principal for API calls.

    "absent" here means not publicly documented. Teranet may operate any of these behind the
    licence gate; nothing in the public record evidences them, and nothing has been assumed.
