Authentication Context Parameters
New parameters have been introduced in the authorization flow to help contextualize each authorization request.
These parameters are not part of any standard OIDC specification and are specific to Corppass.
authentication_context_type
Yes
A value from a predefined list describing the type of transaction for which your user is performing the authentication. This is used for anti-fraud purposes. The list of supported values is provided below.
authentication_context_message
No
A string value providing context on what users are performing authentication for. This will be displayed to users during authentication.
Supported authentication_context_type values
You should select the value that best matches your use case.
Below is a list of currently supported authentication_context_type
values:
Note:
If none of the predefined use cases accurately describe your transaction, use the default value
APP_AUTHENTICATION_DEFAULT
for the general authentication use case.Additional values may be added in the future as new use cases arise.
Guidance on authentication_context_type usage
For general authentication to an e-service that performs a variety of actions, use the default value:
APP_AUTHENTICATION_DEFAULT
. This is expected to cover the majority of e-services.For more sensitive or transaction-specific actions that require step-up verification, a more specific
authentication_context_type
should be used.
