Glossary

Access Token Lifetime

The number of hours during which an access token is valid. SecureAuth IdP generates an authorization code that is given to the client application. The application then requests an Access Token that is subsequently generated by SecureAuth IdP and given to the application. The authorization code is then discarded when the Access Token is received.

ACS / SAML Request Certificate

The Public Key of the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) / SAML Request Certificate in Base64 format to enable SecureAuth IdP to accept a SAML assertion.

NOTE: The default page in the IIS Management Console must also be changed to SAML20idpinitACS.aspx for SecureAuth IdP to consume the SAML assertion.

Action

  • OAuth 2.0: The Bearer token is sent in the header.

Authentication Mode

The authentication workflow. Each mode varies in security strength and user-friction. This can be one of the following options:

  • Standard (User / 2nd Factor / Password): The typical (standard) mode utilized. The user enters username; next, completes a second factor of authentication; and then supplies the password. This order effectively mitigates attacks as the username, second factor, and password all need to be known in that order to achieve access.

  • User / Password on 1st Page (+2nd Factor): The user enters username and password on the same page, and then completes a second factor of authentication.

  • Valid Persistent Token + Registration Code: The user presents a token that was generated on a different realm, and then completes a second factor of authentication.

  • Valid Persistent Token + Reg Code + Password: The user presents a token that was generated on a different realm; next, completes a second factor of authentication; and then supplies the password.

  • Valid Persistent Token + Password: The user presents a token that was generated on a different realm, and then supplies the password.

  • User / Password on 1st Page (no 2nd Factor): The user enters username and the password on the same page.

  • UserName Only: The user enters username only.

  • Validate Persistent Token Only: The user presents a token that was generated on a different realm.

Authentication Relative URL

The endpoint used to retrieve the authentication cookie that is appended (relative) to the Base URL. This is only applicable if Authentication Method is set to Cookie.

Authentication Threshold

The percentage that the user's fingerprint (FP) ID must be higher than for a successful 2-Factor Authentication. If the user's FP ID is lower than the threshold value, another form of 2-Factor Authentication is required, such as SMS OTP, Telephony OTP, PUSH Notification, or OATH Token.

This is typically set between 90 - 100%, and must be higher than the Update Threshold.

AuthnContext Class

Additional authentication proof that may be requested by the SP.

The SP asks for certain Authentication Context Classes, which are categories that carry Authentication Context declarations (requested additional authentication information) and simplify the interpretation between SecureAuth IdP and the SP.

  • SPKI: User is authenticated via a digital signature validated by a Simple Public Key Infrastructure (SPKI).

  • Telephony: User is authenticated via a telephony protocol.

  • TimeSyncToken: User is authenticated through a time synchronization token, which generates a unique value that changes at regular intervals.

  • TLSClient: User is authenticated via a client certificate that is secured with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) transport.

  • Unspecified: User is authenticated by unspecified means.

  • X509: User is authenticated via a digital signature validated by an X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

  • XMLDSig: User is authenticated via a digital signature according to the rules of the XML Digital Signature specification.
