MainJSP Property
When the MainJSP property is set to true, it indicates that you want to use the page specified in the
JSP property for the login page. When this property is set to false, which is the default value, the
nidp.jsp
is used for the login page. If you use two methods to create a contract, this property must
be set to the same value on both or set on only one. When it is set on only one method, the value is
applied to both.
Property Name:
MainJSP
Property Value:
true
For information on how to create a custom login page, see Section 2.1, “Customizing the Identity
Server Login Page,” on page 59 .
3.3 Configuring Authentication Methods
Authentication methods let you associate authentication classes with user stores. You use a
particular authentication class to obtain credentials about an entity, and then validate those
credentials against a list of user stores.
After the system locates the entity in a particular user store, no further checking occurs, even if the
credentials fail to validate the entity. Typically, the entity being authenticated is a user, and the
definition of an authentication method specifies whether this is the case. You can alter the behavior
of an authentication class by specifying properties (name/value pairs) that override those of the
authentication class.
To configure a method for an authentication class:
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Servers > Edit > Local > Methods.
2
To delete a method, select the method, then click Delete .
A method cannot be deleted if a contract is using it.
3
To modify an authentication method, click its name, or to create one, click New .
