Transition sessions from unauthenticated to authenticated (8.2)

Updated on May 3, 2021

A new authentication service type allows a guest user to use an application without logging in, and to be prompted to authenticate later in the session. This enhancement supports a scenario such as an online shopping portal where a user can load a shopping cart as a guest and be prompted for credentials at checkout.

With this new anonymous authentication service type, you enable your application to do the following:

  • Allow guest users to access your application
  • Transition unauthenticated sessions seamlessly to authenticated
  • Validate users with any other type of authentication service
  • Provision users with any other type of authentication service

The following figure shows an example of an anonymous authentication service.
