Custom Authentication Scheme Library Writing and Installation

The user name and password data collected by the FCC are passed to the Policy Server, which passes them to the Authentication Scheme library.

Unless back-end mapping is required, the SmAuthHTML Authentication Scheme library can be used; it is distributed with the Policy Server and already installed on the Policy Server machine.

Note: Back-end mapping requires a custom Authentication Scheme library. If you have installed the software development kit, see the API Reference Guide for C.

If you have written a custom Authentication Scheme and want to gather more data than the username and password, the FCC should pack that data into the username and password fields (each of which must be less than 511 characters long). The custom Authentication Scheme library must then be able to unpack the data and map it to user name and password.

The FCC can be installed on the same machine as the Policy Server.
