17.1.9 MyID authentication service

The MyID authentication service (web.oauth2) provides authentication services for the MyID Operator Client and the MyID Core API.

With this release, the authentication service has been extended to support:

• An Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) adapter for FIDO authenticators to provide authentication to AD FS.

  See the MyID AD FS Adapter OAuth section in the MyID Authentication Guide.

• Using OpenID to provide authentication for an external system that supports OpenID Connect.

  See the Authenticating using OpenID Connect section in the MyID Authentication Guide.

• A standalone version of the authentication service (web.oauth2.ext) for high availability operations, recommended for supporting authentication to third-party systems.

  See the Setting up the standalone authentication service section in the MyID Authentication Guide.

• Reporting on the authentication database.

  See the Reporting on the authentication database section in the MyID Authentication Guide.

As part of this updated feature, you must set up an additional user account for MyID before you install; see the MyID Authentication account section in the Installation and Configuration Guide.
