What are the 3 methods available for authentication?

The choice of Native, Single Sign-On, and Passthrough as the correct methods of authentication emphasizes the diverse approaches to secure user access within identity management systems like SailPoint Identity Now.

Native authentication refers to the built-in mechanisms that a system utilizes to verify a user's identity directly. This can include traditional username and password combinations as well as more advanced methods like multi-factor authentication.

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a powerful method that enables users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to re-authenticate. This enhances user experience and streamlines access management while maintaining security since authentication is managed through a trusted identity provider.

Passthrough authentication allows users to access different applications without needing to enter their credentials repeatedly, utilizing already established sessions. This method is beneficial in maintaining a seamless user experience while ensuring security.

These authentication methods collectively contribute to a robust security framework, allowing organizations to effectively manage access to sensitive information while providing flexibility for users. By implementing these approaches, organizations can enhance both user convenience and security.
