Modifying the Authentication Card

When you create an identity provider, you must configure an authentication card.

  1. Click Devices > Identity Servers > Edit > WS Federation > [Identity Provider] > Authentication Card.

  2. Modify the following values as required:

    Field

    Description

    ID

    To reference this card outside of Administration Console, specify an alphanumeric value here. If you do not assign a value, Identity Server creates one for its internal use. The internal value is not persistent. Whenever you restart Identity Server, the value is changed. A specified value is persistent.

    Text

    Specify the text that is displayed on the card. This value, in combination with the image, indicates to the users the provider they are logging into.

    Image

    Select the image to be displayed on the card.

    Show Card

    Determine whether the card is shown to the user. This allows a user to select and use the card for authentication. If this option is not selected, the card is only used when a service provider makes a request for the card.

    Passive Authentication Only

    Select this option if you do not want Identity Server to prompt a user for credentials. If the user has already authenticated and the credentials satisfy the requirements of this contract, the user is passively authenticated. If the user’s credentials do not satisfy the requirements of this contract, the user is denied access.

  3. Click OK > OK.

  4. Update Identity Server.
