Managing authentication services

Most applications require the validation of logon information by a verification entity. In AccessStudio, a reference is created to these entities through Authentication Services.

AccessProfiles that are associated with the same authentication service belong to the same verification entity. Changes that you make to the logon information in one AccessProfile are reflected across all others that are associated with the authentication service.

See Associating authentication services with AccessProfiles.

All these applications must share the set of credentials. If you associate applications with different sets of credentials with the same authentication service, it results in an error for the specific AccessProfiles. User credentials are stored in the Wallet according to the authentication service and not the application.

This information is useful if you use the Form Editor tab or XML Editor tab to create AccessProfiles.
