Table 8-1 Features from OAAM that are not Supported in OARM and OAA

Features Resolution Additional Note
Challenge Policies Configure the challenge methods in OAA. All the data is preserved for existing challenge methods. End users do not have to re-register. OAA offers modern challenge methods like Passwordless authentication, FIDO2, Yubikey, and so on.
Authentication Pads Use modern strong authentication capabilities that are available in OAA. Authentication pads are used to mitigate capturing passwords, which can be achieved using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and passwordless authentications in OAA.
OAAM Offline None OAAM offline is used to evaluate the effectiveness of policies. This can be better accomplished by creating policies online targeted at test users or no actions.
Customer Service Representative (CSR) / Case Management Use REST APIs to integrate with external Customer Care Services. Modern customer care CSR services provide vastly superior capabilities.
Investigation Management None None
SOAP API Use modern REST APIs in place of SOAP APIs Eliminates the need for client-side SDKs.
