Simple user name resolution

If neither Windows user name resolution (see Windows user name resolution) nor Active Directory user name resolution is used, the following formats are available to verify a user ID and domain:

  • Similar format to user principal name (UPN), e.g. user@domain, sam@fqdn
  • Separate user ID and domain fields

If the user@domain format is used for the user ID, OneSpan Authentication Server looks for a domain record with the name given after the '@'. If the domain is found, the @domain part is stripped from the user ID before the authentication process continues.

If no domain is found, the user ID will be left as user@domain, and no domain will be identified. In that case, the default domain is used for this logon attempt (see Default domain).
