Creating an authentication service
To override or extend the default authentication process, create an authentication service. By creating an authentication service, you implement more specialized authentication requirements than the default, for example, to use preauthentication and postauthentication activities.
Before you begin: To create an authentication service, you must have the
pzCanCreateAuthService privilege, which is included in the
PegaRULES:SecurityAdministrator role.
