Authentication Events

Authentication results are tied to SiteMinder events. If authentication events are enabled in the realm where the user is being authenticated, SiteMinder evaluates optional policies tied to OnAuthAccept, OnAuthReject, OnAuthAttempt, and OnAuthChallenge rules. You can configure these policies to return custom responses based on a user's identity, redirect the user to another location based on the result of the authentication, or update the user data in an external database.
