Credentials Selector Introduction

The SiteMinder Credentials Selector is one of SiteMinder's strong authentication solutions. The Credentials Selector enables users to choose the type of authentication credentials necessary to access protected resources. Based on the user's authentication context, the Policy Server can make authorization decisions and then generate user responses in the same single sign-on environment.

The Credentials Selector functionality is implemented as a standalone component, which can be used by any SiteMinder-protected application.
