Defining a Custom Default Authentication Flow for All Service Providers WSO2IS-5.3.0

By: Unknown on 8:05 AM

You can set the default authentication sequence in the $IS_HOME/repository/conf/identity/service-providers/default.xml file.

..........
<LocalAndOutBoundAuthenticationConfig>
        <AuthenticationSteps>
            <AuthenticationStep>
                <StepOrder>1</StepOrder>
                <LocalAuthenticatorConfigs>
                    <LocalAuthenticatorConfig>
                        <Name>BasicAuthenticator</Name>
                        <DisplayName>basicauth</DisplayName>
                        <IsEnabled>true</IsEnabled>
                    </LocalAuthenticatorConfig>
                </LocalAuthenticatorConfigs>
                <!-- FederatedIdentityProviders>
                 <IdentityProvider>
                       <IdentityProviderName>facebook</IdentityProviderName>
                       <IsEnabled>true</IsEnabled>
                                     <DefaultAuthenticatorConfig>
                                             <FederatedAuthenticatorConfig>
                                                     <Name>FacebookAuthenticator</Name>
                                                     <IsEnabled>true</IsEnabled>
                                             </FederatedAuthenticatorConfig>
                                     </DefaultAuthenticatorConfig>
                 </IdentityProvider>
                </FederatedIdentityProviders -->
                <SubjectStep>true</SubjectStep>
                <AttributeStep>true</AttributeStep>
            </AuthenticationStep>
        </AuthenticationSteps>   
    </LocalAndOutBoundAuthenticationConfig>
..........

Here, You can define Authentication steps for the default authentication flow. By default it is set to One step with BasicAuthenticator.

If you do NOT configure Local & Outbound Authentication Configuration section in a Service Provider and set to Default as in below image, authentication flow for the Service Provider will be the flow you define in above configuration.
