Credential Type Resolution Configurations

The authentication requests that are presented to AuthMinder Server must specify the type of credential that has to be used to process the request. In case of RADIUS and ASSP authentication requests, the input requests do not specify the type of credential. By default, RADIUS uses One-Time Password and ASSP uses password credential for authentication.

To support any password-based authentication mechanisms for RADIUS and ASSP, or to use verifyPlain authentication, you must create the Credential Type Resolution configuration. You can map the input request to any of the following password type of credentials that AuthMinder supports:

The credTypeResolutionConfigs element of the createRequest message is used to configure credential types.
