              "base_path": "/saml/authn",
              "certificate_header_name": "pemdata",
              "missing_certificate_location":"https://<custom_location>"
            }

Caution

Property base_path should not contain the full path when used in conjunction with the Selector, instead, the full URI will be handled by the selector. The full path will be base_path + / + id.

Logging

Apart from system logging, event logging is done when starting, completing, and failing a transaction.

Event ids are:

• WEB_100013("Authentication using certificate completed")
  • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)
  • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip address of device starting transaction)
  • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)
  • SOURCE_USER_NAME (subject from the certificate)
  • MESSAGE (certificate serial)

Data exposed to global state

After a user completes a transaction, the authenticator is marked as done. Data from the authentication response is then put into the global state replacing existing values:

• serial
• subject
• certificate
