To configure the authentication policies, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Configure Shared Resource.

    See Configure Shared Resource for details.

  2. Create Policy.

    See Create Policy for details.

  3. Register Policy.

    See Registering Policy for detailed steps. You must choose the correct type and subtype to register the policy as shown in the following table:

    Policy Intent Qualifier
    Basic Authentication Authentication Basic
    UsernameToken Authentication Authentication UsernameToken
    SAML Authentication Authentication SAML
    Authentication by OAuth Authentication OAuth

    Note: Use the custom shared resource in an authentication policy to implement a custom login module, which can be used for the authentication in the following ways:
    • Extract the user credentials from an incoming request available in a non-standard format.
    • Query the user credentials stored in the database to authenticate the user.

    See Authentication Using Custom Shared Resource for details.
