Login Schema is the XML file that provides the structure to the form-based authentication. Users can use a wide range of authentication forms using a set of user interface constructs that are similar to basic HTML forms.

In nFactor authentications, authentication factors are chained together. Each factor can have different login schema pages or files. In some authentication scenarios, users can be presented with multiple logon screens. You can also have one login schema gather the information that can be passed on to multiple factors so that the latter factors do not have to display another login schema.

The login schema XML files are included with the NetScaler appliance in /nsconfig/loginschema/LoginSchema.

Create a login schema profile

  1. Navigate to Security > AAA - Application Traffic > Login Schema.
  2. Click the Profiles tab, and then click Add.

  3. In Authentication Schema, click the pencil icon.

  6. On the top right, click Select to select the modified schema XML.

  7. Enter a login schema name, and click More.

    Note: You can use the already entered credentials elsewhere. For example, you can use the user name and one of the passwords for single sign-on to StoreFront. You can click More and enter unique values for the indexes. These values can be between 1 and 16. You can reference these index values in a traffic policy or profile by using the expression REQ.USER.ATTRIBUTE(#).

Bind a login schema profile to an authentication, authorization, and auditing virtual server

  1. Navigate to Security > AAA > Login Schema.
  2. Click the Policies tab, and then click Add.
  3. In Profile, select the login schema profile created earlier.
  4. In Rule, enter the default syntax expression and click Create.
