There are four types of User Authentication available under User Management as follows:
- Forms
- SAML
- OAuth
- OpenID
Refer to the following table for more description about user authentication types:
Authentication Types | Advantages | |
---|---|---|
Forms | It is an authentication method that allows login using either a password, OTP, or an Authenticator App For configuring Forms, refer to Forms Authentication. |
|
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) | It is an XML-based open standard used for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, particularly between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP) For configuring SAML, refer to SAML Authentication. |
|
OAuth | It is an open standard for access delegation commonly used as a way for Internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites or services without providing them with their credentials directly. For configuring OAuth, refer to OAuth Authentication. |
|
OpenID Connect | It is an authentication layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. OpenID Connect provides a way for clients (such as web or mobile applications) to verify the identity of users based on the authentication performed by an authorization server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the user. For configuring OIDC, refer to OIDC Authentication. |
