To create an authentication scheme:

2. Select an application.
3. On the Application home page, click Shared Components.

   The Shared Components page appears.

4. Under Security, select Authentication Schemes.

   The Authentication Schemes page appears.

5. To create a new authentication scheme, click Create.
6. Create Scheme - Select a creation method. Options include:
   - Based on a pre-configured scheme from the gallery
   - As a copy of an existing authentication scheme

   What appears next depends upon your selection. Follow the on-screen instructions. This task assumes you select Based on a pre-configured scheme from the gallery.

7. On the Create/Edit page:
   1. Name - Enter a name to be used to reference the authentication scheme by application developers.
   2. Scheme Type - Select how this authentication scheme will be applied. See item Help for more information supported Scheme Type.
