Each end user in AuthMinder is associated with at least one credential (such as ArcotID PKI, QnA, Password, or OTP) that they must use to log in to the system. With a large number of end users enrolled with AuthMinder, you might find that the same credential template can be applied as-is to many users. In such cases, AuthMinder provides you the flexibility to create common ready-to-use credential configurations, known as credential profiles that can be shared among multiple organizations and, thereby, applied to multiple users. As a result, credential profiles simplify the management of credential issuance.
Credential profiles specify issuance configuration properties, and credential attributes such as, validity period, key strengths, and details related to password strength. AuthMinder is shipped with a default profile for each credential.
Also, AuthMinder supports multiple authentication mechanisms. Every time an end user attempts authentication against AuthMinder, the authentication process is controlled by a set of rules referred to as authentication policies. These rules can be configured to track the number of failed authentication attempts allowed before credential lockout, and also to track user status before authentication.
You can create configurations either by using Administration Console or by using Administration Web services. This section walks you through the following topics for configuring credential profiles, authentication policies, domain key and master keys, RADIUS, plug-ins, ASSP, and SAML tokens:
