- ### Items

  - #### loginForm

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Definition of "login form" module. The module is used for interactive log-in of a user by using HTML forms.

  - #### httpBasic

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Definition of HTTP BASIC authentication module (RFC 7617).

  - #### httpHeader

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Pseudo-authentication for pre-authenticated users. Based on HTTP header values.

  - #### saml2

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    SAML2 authentication module support authentication via Identity provider with SAML2.

  - #### oidc

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    OpenId Connect authentication module.

  - #### mailNonce

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Mail nonce authentication module. Module that sends randomly generated nonce in URL in mail message.

  - #### smsNonce

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    SMS (mobile text message) nonce authentication module. Module that sends randomly generated nonce in mobile text message (SMS).

  - #### securityQuestionsForm

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Definition of "security questions form" module. The module is used for interactive log-in of a user by answering a set of security questions.

  - #### httpSecQ

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Definition of HTTP SecQ module. The module is used for quasi-interative log-in of a user by answering a set of security questions. The HTTP SecQ mechanism is similar to HTTP BASIC mechanism, but it is using security questions instead of password.

  - #### ldap

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    LDAP authentication module supports authentication via LDAP server.

  - #### attributeVerification

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    The module can be used as an additional verification of the already authenticated user. Intended for interactive user verification by comparing the specified attribute with the value provided by the user.

  - #### focusIdentification

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    TODO

  - #### hint

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    TODO

  - #### other

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  - #### archetypeSelection

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Module is used for the refining user search based on archetype selection. For example, for "lost my username" case the archetypes provide the information about the user who can recover the username and this archetype is later used for the search.

  - #### correlation

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Module is used for the user authentication using the correlation rules. Rules can be configured in object template per archetype or on global level. For example, for "lost my username" case the archetypes provide the information about correlation rules to be applied.

  - #### duo

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Module is used for 2FA authentication. Module use duo server for authentication via hardware key of mobile, tablet and so on. We cant use it as only one authentication module. We need some primary authentication module for example saml.
