Credentials Selector Use Case

In this use case, the user is given a choice of different credentials to obtain different levels of access when he requests access to a protected resource. When the user requests a protected sample application, he is presented with the following login dialog:

Each login button on the dialog submits different credentials. The user's experience depends on the type of credentials he provides. The user can choose from the following types of authentication:

• Password And/Or Certificate authentication
• Windows authentication
• SecureID authentication
• SafeWord authentication

After the user is successfully authenticated and authorized, the user is permitted access to the sample application, which displays a greeting that informs him of his authentication level and the type of authentication scheme he used to log in.
