Authentication Context Support

In access control request processing, the authentication phase processes information about user identity and the authorization mechanism. This information that is taken together is named the authentication context.

In previous releases of SiteMinder, the duration of the authentication context was limited to the authentication phase. In this release, you can optionally store the authentication context as sessions variables in the session store. Administrators can configure responses and policies to use session variables.

Note: For information about authentication context support, see the Policy Server Configuration Guide.
