Specifying Basic Authentication Policy Settings

Administrators logging in to CA Advanced Authentication can be authenticated either by using the Basic Authentication Policy, LDAP Authentication Policy, or WebFort User-Password mechanism. The mechanism that will be used is determined by the option that you selected while creating the organization:

• If you select the Basic User Password option while creating an organization, then you can use the default authentication policy, as discussed in "Configuring the Basic Authentication Password Policy" (for global level).
• If you select the LDAP User Password option, the password stored in LDAP is used by the administrator to log in. The authentication policy is defined in the LDAP system.
• If you select the WebFort User Password option, then ensure that CA Strong Authentication is deployed and accessible.

Note: See the CA CA Strong Authentication Installation and Deployment Guide and the CA CA Strong Authentication Administration Guide for detailed information to install and configure CA Strong Authentication in your environment.
