❍
All authentication-specific information, such as names of registered
authentication plug-in modules and any configured instances, appears in
the Authentication section of the configuration file.
❍
Each registered authentication plug-in module is identified by its
implementation name and the corresponding Java class.
❍
Each configured instance of an authentication module is identified by the
name or ID you specified when creating it.
❍
You can create multiple instances from an implementation; each instance
must have a unique name. To do this, you would copy all of the
parameters belonging to the module used to create the instance. Change
the name of each of these parameters to the new name for this instance,
and then change the value of all the parameters as is appropriate for your
needs.

The name of an authentication instance must be used in the corresponding
enrollment form so that the server is able to determine the authentication
method during end-user enrollment.
