2 Configure the following fields as necessary:
User Store: Specifies the default user store for local authentication. If you selected <Default
User Store> when configuring an authentication method, the system uses the user store you
specify here.
Authentication Contract: Specifies the default authentication contract to be used when users
access the Identity Server directly or a protected resource is configured to use Any Contract . If
you create a new contract and specify it as the default, ensure that you update the Access
Gateway configuration if it has protected resources configured to use
Any Contract . See
“ Configuring Protected Resources ” in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP2 Access Gateway
Guide .
Authentication Type: Specifies the default authentication contracts to be used for each
authentication type. When a service provider requests a specific authentication type, rather than
a contract, the identity provider uses the authentication contract specified here for the requested
authentication type. For more information, see
Section 3.5.1, “Specifying Authentication
Types,” on page 131 .

3.5.1 Specifying Authentication Types
Trusted service providers can send the Identity Server an authentication request that contains a
request for contract or for an authentication type. When the request is for an authentication type, the
Identity Server must translate the type to a contract before authenticating the user. You can use the
Authentication Type section of the Defaults page to specify which contract to use for the common
types (classes).
