3 (Optional) Specify a description for the protected resource. You can use it to briefly describe
the purpose for protecting this resource.
4 Select the type of contract to use for the authentication procedure. The contract determines the
information a user must supply for authentication. By default, the Administration Console
allows you to select from the following contracts and options when specifying whether a
resource requires an authentication contract:
None: If you want to allow public access to the resource and not require an authentication
contract, select None.
Any Contract: If the user has authenticated, this option allows any contract defined for the
Identity Server to be valid, or if the user has not authenticated, it prompts the user to
authenticate, using the default contract assigned to the Identity Server configuration.
Name/Password - Basic: Specifies basic authentication over HTTP, using a standard login
pop-up provided by the Web browser.
Name/Password - Form: Specifies a form-based authentication over HTTP or HTTPS, using
the Access Manager login form.
Secure Name/Password - Basic: Specifies basic authentication over HTTPS, using a standard
login pop-up provided by the Web browser.
Secure Name/Password - Form: Specifies a form-based authentication over HTTPS, using
the Access Manager login form.
The contract also determines the session timeout for inactive connections. If you have some
resources that need to time out quickly to protect sensitive data and other resources that don't
need this kind of protection, you need to configure contracts for these resources. For more
information about this feature, see
Resource," on page
If no contracts are available, you have not configured a relationship between the Access
Gateway and the Identity Server. See
Authentication," on page
