What are authentication policies?


Admins can set authentication policies with managed accounts and apply the authentication settings to members.

The authentication settings that can be configured through policies are:

  • Authentification unique (SSO)
  • Validation en deux étapes obligatoire (2SV)
  • Règles de mot de passe (force et expiration des mots de passe)
  • Durée de la session

Why apply multiple authentication policies?


There are many reasons to have multiple authentication policies within an organization and the main ones are to:

  • designate policies to specific user subsets
  • test authentication setting functionality

Fonctionnement


Admins have the flexibility to define multiple authentication policies and apply them to different subsets of users in the organization to ensure each set of users have the appropriate level of security.

A separate authentication policy can be set up to test a SAML configuration by enabling single sign-on for a small test group before rolling it out to the whole organization.
