Factors that affect OneSpan Authentication Server performance

Some elements that affect the performance of OneSpan Authentication Server are the following:

  • System specifications. For more information, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Installation Guide for Windows and the OneSpan Authentication Server Installation Guide for Linux, section "System requirements".
  • Data store type and its location(s). See Deployment models.
  • Data replication method. For more information, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Administrator Guide, section "Replication".
  • Load balancing and failover options. See Load balancing.
  • Auditing method. Auditing to database is encouraged, as this will speed up both the auditing and reporting processes. Auditing to file is available, but will produce significant processing overheads for reporting, as reporting can only be performed from a database.
  • Authentication protocol.
  • Tracing. Tracing highly impacts the performance if enabled.
