Back-end authentication

Back-end authentication describes the process of verifying user credentials with another system. It is used primarily to:

• Enable automatic management features, such as Dynamic User Registration (DUR) and authenticator self-assignment.
• Verify static passwords for users who do not have an authenticator and for Virtual Mobile Authenticator.
• Retrieve RADIUS attributes from a RADIUS server.
• Replace passwords to allow the user to log in with just a one-time password (OTP) in an environment where the Windows password is required (e.g. Outlook Web Access).
