authlevel Parameter

An authlevel=integer parameter tells the Authentication Service to call a module with an authentication level equal to or greater than the specified authentication level integer. The Authentication Level value is set in each authentication module’s profile whether defined globally or per realm.

When Authentication Level-based authentication is initiated, the Authentication Service displays a login page with a menu containing the authentication modules that have authentication levels equal to or greater then the value specified in the authlevel parameter. Users can select a module from the presented list. For more information, see Authentication Level-based Authentication.
