CA Arcot A–OK assumes authentication services in an integrated environment by guiding users through the authentication and risk evaluation processes. CA Arcot A–OK uses a series of SAML requests and responses to step through the authentication workflow.
Note: For more information about the authentication workflow, see the CA Arcot A–OK Adapter for CA SiteMinder Installation and Configuration Guide.
The result of the risk evaluation is a risk score and corresponding advice, which is a recommend action, such as allow or deny the authentication.
CA Arcot A–OK forwards the advice to the Policy Server, which if necessary, continues with authorization services.
Note: For more information about managing user credentials and configuring the rules associated with the risk evaluation process, see the CA Arcot A–OK User Administration Guide.
