The following table describes nested elements for the Callbacks element.

The Callbacks element is used to define the information a module needs to gather from the client requesting authentication. Each Callbacks element signifies a separate screen that can be called during the authentication process.

Table 13–4 Nested Elements

`ChoiceCallback`	*	Used when the application user must choose from multiple values.
`ConfirmationCallback`	*	Sends button information such as text which needs to be rendered on the module’s screen to the authentication interface.
`HttpCallback`	*	Used by the authentication module with HTTP-based handshaking negotiation.
`SAMLCallback`		Used for passing either Web artifact or SAML POST response from SAML service to the SAML authentication module when this module requests for the respective credentials.
