Authentication Mechanisms

A user can sign in to Accops HySecure either through a Web Portal or by using a Desktop client. While signing in, the user can be authenticated using primarily two types of Authentication Mechanisms so that appropriate resources can be accessed.

Type	Description
Basic Authentication	This is a relatively weaker authentication mechanism. Once the users signs in using User ID and password they are authenticated against either a local database or against an external server like an AD Server, RADIUS server, ProID or SAML Identity provider. Typically the Low Security Users are authenticated with this mechanism.
Certificate Authentication	This is a stronger authentication mechanism. Users sign in with Certificate and Password. Security officers and Administrators should usually be authenticated with this mechanism.
