Scenario: Evaluating the Grant Permissions using the Historical Access Data

You want to store the details of login attempts in the configured history databases and take actions based on these details in subsequent login attempts.

While configuring risk-based authentication, you can determine if you want to save the history details and the number of days for which history to consider for evaluation of the authentication attempt.

For example: Let us assume that you have enabled recording of history details and have specified that the history of last 10 days are used for evaluation before granting or denying access. If the user logs in from a different geolocation, additional authentication is requested as the risk is high. The risk evaluation details are stored in the database. Next time the user logs in from the same geolocation, the historical details for the last ten days are checked to see if there are details about a login attempt from the same geolocation. As the geolocation details exist in the database, the user is granted access without being prompted for additional authentication.

You can enable recording of user history only for a risk policy that uses Risk-based Auth Class.

For information about how to enable recording of user history, see Configuring User History.
