About the Authentication Upgrade

About the upgrade to Authentication.

Authentication is being upgraded to Authentication. Authentication is the action of verifying the identity of a user or process.

• With Basic Authentication, you log in directly from the Login screen with the username and password.

• With Federated Authentication, you log in from the single sign-on (SSO) link to an identity provider (IDP), and the username and password are shared among multiple applications. The upgrade has little effect on Federated Authentication except for the addition of SSO Username.

Benefits of Authentication

• Passwords do not expire, so you do not have to reset passwords frequently.

• Robust session management with fewer disruptive log-outs.

• Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): If you log in from the same device and location every day, then you do not have to use MFA each time.

• Client Management to integrate by way of Client Credentials, ROPC, and Auth Code Flow directly. This helps developers to build integrations.

• A single Logon Profile for everyone with only one editable setting for Minimum Password Length.

• You must upgrade to the new Mobile App to replace the previous Mobile App.
