Selecting an Authentication Method

Choose one of the following authentication methods to make available to users:

• On-demand authentication (ODA). A service that allows users to receive on-demand tokencodes delivered by text message or e-mail. You must enable users to receive on-demand tokencodes.

• Risk-based authentication (RBA). An integrated, multi-factor authentication method that strengthens other authentication methods, such as RSA SecurID password-based authentication.

Procedure 

1. Decide which method to make available to users.

2. Configure the authentication method.

   • For ODA, see On-Demand Authentication.

   • For RBA, see Add a Risk-Based Authentication Policy.

3. Enable users for the authentication method.

   • For ODA, see Configure On-Demand Tokencode Delivery.

   • For RBA, see Enable Users Manually for Risk-Based Authentication or Configure Automatic Enablement for a Risk-Based Authentication Policy.
