An authentication scheme is a named component that defines the challenge mechanism required to authenticate a user. Each authentication scheme must also include a defined authentication module.
The following topics describe the authentication schemes and modules that are available for use with the Oracle Identity Federation server in Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 11g R1 (11.1.1).
See Using Authentication Schemes and Modules for Identity Federation 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2) about any schemes that are used for Identity Federation in 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3).
See Managing Authentication Schemes for additional information about schemes.
OIFScheme
and OIFMTScheme
are used for integration with Oracle Identity Federation 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
See Using Authentication Schemes and Modules for Identity Federation 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2) for the schemes available with Identity Federation 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3).
Table 40-4 describes the scheme OIFScheme
.

When you manage authentication with Oracle Identity Federation Release 11gR1, you work with OIFScheme
and OIFMTLDAPPlugin
, a custom authentication module for Identity Federation 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
The following topics explain how to manage authentication with Oracle Identity Federation Release 11gR1:
You can search for the OIFScheme Authentication Scheme and modify the Scheme details as desired.
To view or modify the Authentication Scheme:
You can search for the OIFMTLDAPPlugin Authentication and modify module details as desired.
To view or modify the OIFMTLDAPPlugin Authentication:
The procedure for this task is the same as described in the following topics:
