Hi All,

According to our design for authentication dashboard we have two views
which are the federated view and resident view. Both view has a gadget
which shows overall authentication success and failure count.

Issue arises when a user logs in using multi step authentication which
comprise of both resident and federated authenticators. Previously we
identified overall authentication success using the event sent by the
framework IF all the step authenticators are success.

Eg:- If user authenticates with two step authenticators which are type of
local then for the DAS side we are receiving three events from the
corresponding authenticator and the framework. To identify that this is a
not a federated authentication scenario from IS side a boolean attribute is
sent as isFederated which is false for above scenario.

So in the resident view we will have overall authentication count as 1.

But if user authenticates with two authenticators which are of local and
federated then again we receive three events but for the event which is
sent from framework , the isFederated value is *False*. So we have a issue
of showing overall authentication count for federated view because of this.

So the proposing solution is to check if a certain authentication attempt
involves federated authenticators and if its the case send  a String value
of "ALL" for isFederated attribute or True or False respectively.

So following above if the user authenticates with two step authentication
of federated and local(Success scenario) we show in both views that in
overall, user has one authentication success attempt.

Please raise any concerns on this.

Regards,
Damith.
