Note on M86 Authentication

November 4th, 2011 · 1 Comment

M86 authenticator and web-based authentication should work fine side by side. If you are using web-based authentication ONLY for ipad/iOs devices, then use Tier2 instead of Tier3 as it does not include Java Applet. Instead they configure authentication session retention time in the filter i.e. keep profile active for 60 minutes once authenticated. In WFR 4.2, you will be allowed to select Tier 3 Web Based Authentication so PC/Macs running java can leverage the session based authentication, while iOS/Android devices will fall back to the Tier 2 setting.

Here’s what you need to know about WF Web Based Authentication:
