Core authentication attributes

The default authentication journey used when an administrative user authenticates.

The default authentication journey used when a non-administrative user authenticates.

Whether a user profile needs to exist in the user data store, or should be created on successful authentication. The possible values are:

After a user is successfully authenticated, the user’s profile is retrieved. Identity Cloud first searches for the user based on the data store settings. If that fails to find the user, Identity Cloud uses the attributes listed here to look up the user profile. This setting accepts any data store specific attribute name.

When enabled, Identity Cloud deactivates the LDAP attribute defined in the Lockout Attribute Name property in the user’s profile upon login failure. This attribute works in conjunction with the other account lockout and notification attributes.

The number of attempts a user has to authenticate within the time interval defined in Login Failure Lockout Interval before being locked out.

The time in minutes during which failed login attempts are counted. If one failed login attempt is followed by a second failed attempt within this defined lockout interval time, the lockout count starts, and the user is locked out if the number of attempts reaches the number defined by the Login Failure Lockout Count property. If an attempt within the defined lockout interval time proves successful before the number of attempts reaches the number defined by the Login Failure Lockout Count property, the lockout count is reset.

One or more email addresses to which notification is sent if a user lockout occurs.

The number of authentication failures after which Identity Cloud displays a warning message that the user will be locked out.

Defines how many minutes a user must wait after a lockout before attempting to authenticate again. Entering a value greater than 0 enables memory lockout and disables physical lockout. Memory lockout means the user’s account is locked in memory for the number of minutes specified. The account is unlocked after the time period has passed.

Defines a value with which to multiply the value of the Login Failure Lockout Duration attribute for each successive lockout. For example, if Login Failure Lockout Duration is set to 3 minutes, and the Lockout Duration Multiplier is set to 2, the user is locked out of the account for 6 minutes. After the 6 minutes has elapsed, if the user again provides the wrong credentials, the lockout duration is then 12 minutes. With the Lockout Duration Multiplier, the lockout duration is incrementally increased based on the number of times the user has been locked out.

The LDAP attribute used for physical lockout. The default attribute is inetuserstatus, although the field is empty in the UI. The Lockout Attribute Value field must also contain an appropriate value.

The action to take on the attribute defined in Lockout Attribute Name. The default value is inactive, although the field is empty in the UI. The Lockout Attribute Name field must also contain an appropriate value.

The LDAP attribute used to hold the number of failed authentication attempts towards Login Failure Lockout Count. Although the field appears empty in the UI, Identity Cloud stores this data in the sunAMAuthInvalidAttemptsDataAttrName attribute defined in the sunAMAuthAccountLockout objectclass by default.

When enabled, Identity Cloud stores the information regarding failed authentication attempts as the value of the Invalid Attempts Data Attribute Name in the user data store. Information stored includes number of invalid attempts, time of last failed attempt, lockout time and lockout duration.

The default language subtype to be used by the Authentication Service. The default value is en_US.

When enabled, Identity Cloud assigns client-side sessions to users authenticating to this realm. Otherwise, Identity Cloud users authenticating to this realm are assigned server-side sessions.

The URL of the external login user interface, if the authentication user interface is hosted separately from Identity Cloud.

The location where Identity Cloud stores authentication sessions.

The maximum allowed duration of an authentication session, including any time spent in the suspended state, in minutes.

The length of time an authentication session can be suspended, in minutes.

When enabled, Identity Cloud allowlists authentication sessions to protect them against replay attacks.

The key pair alias in the Identity Cloud keystore to use for encrypting persistent cookies.

Specifies a cryptographically-secure random-generated HMAC shared secret for signing RESTful authentication requests. When users attempt to authenticate, Identity Cloud signs a JSON Web Token (JWT) containing this shared secret. The JWT contains the authentication session ID, realm, and authentication index type value, but does not contain the user’s credentials.

Accepts a list of values that specifies where users are directed after successful authentication. The format of this attribute is client-type|URL although the only value you can specify at this time is a URL which assumes the type HTML. The default value is /openam/console. Values that do not specify HTTP have that appended to the deployment URI.
