Authenticator Policy REST API

The Policy/Authenticator endpoint allows creating and managing authentication policies and the associated password policy parameters.

Important: You cannot modify the default Authenticator policies, but you can clone them using copyFrom to define your own policies.

For the attributes of the base resource type, see section urn:hid:scim:api:idp:2.0:policy:Authenticator.

Create an Authenticator Policy

[POST] /Policy/Authenticator

Accept: application/scim+json

You cannot create an Authenticator Policy from scratch. You must use the copyFrom parameter to specify another Authenticator Policy Id from which to copy the configuration. Only the following parameters can be set (other ones will use the value from the copyFrom resource):

id
name
notes
From urn:hid:scim:api:idp:2.0:policy:authenticator:Password:
- all parameters in passwordpolicy
- seedingType - can be “FULL”, “PARTIAL” or “BOTH”
- disableThreshold - number of failed attempts after which the password of the user will be disabled
- numberOfSeeds

Copy

Sample Request URI

[POST] /configuration/{tenant}/v2/Policy/Authenticator

Copy

Sample request where a new Authenticator Policy is created based on AT_CUSTPW (see the previous Get an Authenticator Policy sample response for reference).

Name and notes are modified as well as notOldPassword which is now true.

Add a Delivery Gateways Binding

You can update the authenticator policy to add a delivery gateway binding using the deliveryGateways property in the request.

Note:

As deliveryGateways is an array, the elements are ordered (the first one on the list will be the first one to be tested when needed).
If you create an authenticator policy by coping another one, the delivery gateways configuration is also copied.

Copy

Sample Request

PUT /configuration/{tenant}/v2/Policy/Authenticator/AT_CUSTPW
{
    "id": "AT_CUSTPW",
    "deliveryGateways": [{
            "value": "68474"
        }, {
            "value": "20977"
        }
    ]
}

Copy

Sample Response

PUT /configuration/{tenant}/v2/Policy/Authenticator/AT_CUSTPW
