Configure Advanced Identity Cloud for authentication
Advanced Identity Cloud provides a large variety of authentication nodes, each with a distinct purpose in an authentication flow. Based on your authentication requirements, you connect these nodes to create a journey that guides users through the authentication process.
Authentication journeys are extremely flexible, and can be adapted to suit your deployment. Although the number of choices can seem daunting, when you understand the basic process, you’ll be able to configure multiple journeys to protect access to most applications in your organization.
Authentication is configured per realm. The following table summarizes the high-level tasks required to configure authentication in a realm:
Task | Resources |
---|---|
Configure the required authentication mechanisms You need to decide how your users are going to log in. For example, you may require your users to provide multiple credentials, or to log in using third-party identity providers, such as Facebook or Google. |
|
Configure the success and failure URLs for the realm By default, Advanced Identity Cloud redirects users to the UI after successful authentication. No failure URL is defined by default. |
