Enabling plugins for external authentication

To enable a plugin to look up and store security question data, and validate responses on an external program:

  1. Write a custom plugin .

  2. Ensure the program is located in the plugin directory on the Bravura Security Fabric server.

    If the program requires a script or configuration file, ensure that the file is also located in this directory.

  3. If required, add an external question set.

    This is optional if the external program can validate responses. You can add an external question set if you want users to define questions or answers to complete their profile.

  4. Enable the authentication method:

    • Using the Manage the system > Modules > Front-end (PSF) menu:

      • Set PSF EXT to Security questions or User selectable.

        You must select User selectable if you did not add a question set.

      • Add the plugin or script name to PSFEXT VALUES.

      Or

    • By adding an external authentication module to an authentication chain .

      This method provides more flexible configuration options.
