Configure an Info Map authentication mechanism

Use this mechanism in the policy to return a template form and perform validation on the responding POST data. This mechanism is intended to work in conjunction with the Email Message mechanism.

The Info Map mechanism can be used to implement JavaScript authentication mechanisms. When this mechanism is invoked, the configured JavaScript mapping rule will be run.

The following parameters are available in an Info Map mapping rule:

Steps

  1. Log in to the local management interface.

  2. Click AAC.

  3. Under Policy, click Authentication.

  4. Click Mechanisms.

  5. Click Info Map Authentication.

  6. In the New Authentication Mechanism window, set the name and identifier of the mechanism on the General tab. If we are modifying an existing Info Map authentication mechanism instead of creating a new instance, values on the General tab cannot be changed.

  7. Click the Properties tab.

    1. Select a property to configure.

    2. Click Modify Property.

    3. Enter the value for that property.

        Template Page
        This property defines the HTML template page.

        Map Rule
        Select a mapping rule from the list. Only JavaScript mapping rules in the InfoMap category are displayed in the list for selection.

    4. Click OK.
    5. Repeat the previous steps as needed.

  8. Click Save.


What to do next

After we have configured the mechanism, a message that indicates the changes are not deployed will be displayed. Deploy the changes when we are finished. For information, see Deploying pending changes.

After deploying the changes, we can create policies that include this mechanism. For more information, see Create an authentication policy.
