Client records

Clients are machines, which connect to OneSpan Authentication Server and send authentication or administration requests. Clients might be end-user machines, servers hosting web services, RADIUS clients, or IIS modules.

Client component records are created to represent:

• OneSpan Authentication Server instances
• Authentication, signature validation, and provisioning clients
• Administration clients

A client record must exist in the OneSpan Authentication Server data store for any machines that will make authentication requests to OneSpan Authentication Server. OneSpan Authentication Server uses client records to determine, which requests from which clients can be processed. Client records also specify, which policy should be used when processing requests (see Policy records).

Client records are also used to hold:

• Shared secrets and character encoding for RADIUS clients.
• License keys for OneSpan Authentication Server instances and Digipass Authentication Module components.
