Authentication schemes

Updated on April 26, 2021

The Pega Platform offers the following authentication types:

PRBasic: Based on passwords in the Operator ID data instances and the login form. This is defined by the HTML @baseclass.Web-Login rule, which your application can override.
PRSecuredBasic: Similar to PRBasic, but passes credentials by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with Basic HTTP authentication. The login form is defined by the HTML @baseclass.Web-Login-SecuredBasic rule, which your application can override.
PRCustom: Supports access to an external LDAP directory or a custom authentication scheme.
PRExtAssign: Supports external assignments (Directed Web Access).
J2EEContext: Specifies that the application server in which the Pega Platform is deployed uses JAAS to authenticate users.
