Creating a Method to Use the NMAS Class

When you create a method, you can specify property values that are applied to just this method and not the entire class. In this tutorial, we want the method to use the same login sequence as the class. The method also allows you to specify which user stores can use the method. For a smart card method, you need to ensure that the user store or stores specified for the method have NESCM installed.

  1. Click Devices > Identity Servers > Edit > Local > Methods > New.

  2. Specify a Display name. For example, Method-NMAS-NESCM.

  3. In Class, select the class created in Creating an NMAS Class for NESCM.

  4. In Available user stores list, select the user store created in Creating a User Store for the NESCM Method, then click the left-arrow to move this user store into the User stores list.

    Leave other settings on this page unchanged.

  5. Click Finish.

  6. Continue with Creating an Authentication Contract to Use the Method.
