Creating User Accounts Using Dynamic User Registration (DUR)

Dynamic User Registration (DUR) allows to create a new user account automatically when the user credentials are validated using back-end authentication. The correct static password is sufficient to create a new user account.

DUR is commonly used together with auto-assignment (see auto-assignment (Overview)). With these two features enabled, new user accounts are immediately assigned to an authenticator.

For more information about Dynamic User Registration, see Dynamic User Registration (DUR).

DUR user information synchronization allows OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance to retrieve user information when a user account is created using DUR with an LDAP back-end server. This is achieved by synchronizing the data from the LDAP back-end server to the respective user account data fields. The user information that can be retrieved includes the user display name and contact data, such as the mobile phone number and the email address. The LDAP attributes used to query the respective user information are configurable.

By default, DUR user information synchronization is disabled. To enable and configure it, you need to change the applicable policy accordingly.
