Certificate-based authentication (CBA) is one of the most secure, phishing-resistant forms of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and is increasingly deployed in enterprises and the public sector. Many enterprise employees, as well as the majority of federal agencies and defense employees/contractors, use a strong authenticator such as a smart card or hardware device for authentication. CBA streamlines the process of authenticating users with a variety of authenticators while improving overall protection.
Axiad provides this example ForgeRock authentication node to simply demonstrate how to enable certificate-based authentication in ForgeRock with Axiad. It is a starting point to build from to a production ready authentication node.
