Simple user name resolution

Prev Next

If neither Windows user name resolution (see Windows user name resolution) nor Active Directory user name resolution is used, the following formats are available to verify a user ID and domain:

  • Similar format to user principal name (UPN), e.g. user@domain, sam@fqdn
  • Separate user ID and domain fields

If the user@domain format is used for the user ID, OneSpan Authentication Server looks for a domain record with the name given after the '@'. If the domain is found, the @domain part is stripped from the user ID before the authentication process continues.

If no domain is found, the user ID will be left as user@domain, and no domain will be identified. In that case, the default domain is used for this logon attempt (see Default domain).
