Specifying Authentication Types - Novell ACCESS MANAGER 3.1 SP2 - IDENTITY SERVER GUIDE 2010 Manual

2 Configure the following fields as necessary:
User Store: Specifies the default user store for local authentication. If you selected <Default
User Store> when configuring an authentication method, the system uses the user store you
specify here.
Authentication Contract: Specifies the default authentication contract to be used when users
access the Identity Server directly or a protected resource is configured to use Any Contract. If
you create a new contract and specify it as the default, ensure that you update the Access
Gateway configuration if it has protected resources configured to use Any Contract. See
"Configuring Protected
Guide.
Authentication Type: Specifies the default authentication contracts to be used for each
authentication type. When a service provider requests a specific authentication type, rather than
a contract, the identity provider uses the authentication contract specified here for the requested
authentication type. For more information, see
Types," on page 131.
3 Click OK.
4 Update the Identity Server.

3.5.1 Specifying Authentication Types

Trusted service providers can send the Identity Server an authentication request that contains a
request for contract or for an authentication type. When the request is for an authentication type, the
Identity Server must translate the type to a contract before authenticating the user. You can use the
Authentication Type section of the Defaults page to specify which contract to use for the common
types (classes).
