Condition for Adaptive authentication

Introduction

Adaptive authentication is designed to improve the security of online accounts by adding an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.

When the authentication is being defined, Soffid allows you to add some adaptive authentications in addition to the Authentication methods. Those adaptive authentications will be evaluated, and when the result of the condition will be true, the rule will be enabled.

Condition

Allows you to write a script validation, with the result true or false. To develop the script you can use some vars defined to that:

There are some available vars to create the condition:

  • dayOfWeek: number of the day of the week (1-7 where 1 is Sunday and 7 is Saturday).
  • daysSinceLastLogon: number of days (integer).
  • daysSinceLastLogonFromSameHost: number of days (integer).
  • deviceCertificate: 
  • displacement: 
  • displacementSpeed: 
  • failuresForSameIp: integer value to determine the number of failures.
  • failuresForSameUser: integer value to determine the number of failures.
  • failuresRatio: value between 0 and 1.

  • geoInformation:  

  • hasCertificate: 

  • hasFidoToken: 

  • hasOtp: 

  • hasOtpHotp: 

  • hasOtpMail: 

  • hasOtpPin: 

  • hasOtpSms: 

  • hasOtpTotp: 

  • hasPushToken: 

  • hasToken: 

  • hour: integer value between 0 and 23.

  • identityProvider: string value with the name of the identity provider.

  • ipAddress: string with the IP address.
  • minute: integer value between 0 and 59.
  • newDevice: boolean value (true or false). It validates if the connection is from a new device.
  • remoteHost: 
  • roles:
  • sameCountry: boolean value (true or false). It validates if the connection is from the same country as the last user connection.
  • serviceProvider: string value with the name of the service provider.
  • sourceCountry: sting value to identify the country.
  • user: string value with the name of a user. It uses the first two ISO characters.

Examples

Rule 1
failuresRatio > 0.8
Rule 2
(daysSinceLastLogon > 10) && (ipAddress.startsWith("192.168.")
Rule 3
((dayOfWeek == 7) || (dayOfWeek == 1)) && (user.equals("<USER_NAME>")
Rule 4
"ES".equals(sourceCountry) || ipAddress.startsWith("192.168.")
