Once AnA is enabled, CA Strong Authentication Sample Application does not work

Products

• CA Advanced Authentication
• CA Strong Authentication
• CA Risk Authentication

Issue/Introduction

The acronym AnA stands for "Authentication and Authorization". For Advanced Authentication (AA) AnA applies to Enabling the Webservice Authentication and Authorization and/or REST API  Authentication and Authorization. Enabling AnA on  Webservice makes the Strong Authentication Sample application not usable because the user information is retrieved through the UDS web services.

So, the question becomes - Where do we add the SDK Authentication and Authorization parameters in Strong Authentication Sample Application when AnA for Web service is enabled?

Environment

Version : 9.x

Component: AuthMinder(Arcot Webfort)

Resolution

When we protect the AnA token in AA Master Admin console, it has an impact for the SDK as well. However, we can pass required additional inputs to SDK API in the "Additional Attributes" section to get the issue resolved as shown below: 

AR_WF_SECURITY.userId  (user) 
AR_WF_SECURITY.orgName  (Org name) 
AR_WF_SECURITY.credential ( Credential) 

While making the SDK call or using the when using the Sample Application, please pass the above parameters as "Additional Attributes.
