Authentication is the process of validating the identity of a user. This is to make sure that the user connecting to a system is authorized or allowed to do so. In the last couple of years, there has been a significant shift towards federated authentication, to centralize the authentication process by delegating the process of authentication to an identity provider.

To configure an Auth profile, perform the following steps.

  1. Navigate to the Templates > Security > Auth Profile and click Create.

  2. Enter a name for the profile and select the Type.

  3. Configure the settings specific to the type of profile selected.

  4. Click Save.
