The Authentication Method allows you to assign a role based on the method the user used for authentication.
Authentication Method: To compare the method that the user used with a static value, select Current. To compare a static value with what the user used, select a method from the list.
If you have created more than one Identity Server configuration, select the configuration, then select the method. The name of the method is displayed. When you select this name, the configurations that contain a definition for this method are highlighted.
Comparison: Specify how the method is compared to the data in the Value field. Select either a string comparison or a regular expression:
Comparison: String: Specifies that you want the values compared as strings and how you want the string values compared. Select one of the following:
Equals: Indicates that the values must match, letter for letter.
Starts with: Indicates that the Authentication Method value must begin with the letters specified in the Value field.
Ends with: Indicates that the Authentication Method value must end with the letters specified in the Value field.
Contains Substring: Indicates that the Authentication Method value must contain the letters, in the same sequence, as specified in the Value field.
Comparison: Regular Expression: Matches: Specifies that you want the values compared as regular expressions.
Mode: Select the mode appropriate for the comparison type:
Comparison: String: Specify whether case is important by selecting Case Sensitive or Case Insensitive.
Comparison: Regular Expression: Matches: Select one or more of the following:
For regular expression syntax information, see the Javadoc for java.util.regex.Pattern.
Value: Specify the value you want to compare with the Authentication Method value. If you select a static value for the Authentication Method value, select Authentication Method and Current. If you select Current for the Authentication Method value, select Authentication Method, then select the name of a method.
Other value types are possible if you selected Current for the Authentication Method value. Your policy requirements determine whether they are useful.
Result on Condition Error: Specify what the condition returns when the comparison of the two values returns an error rather than the results of the comparison. Select either False or True. If you do not want the action applied when an error occurs, select False. If you want the action applied when an error occurs, select True.
