Hi all,

We are using two authentication policies for login. For the first time login we are triggering a force password reset flow after the successful authentication of both policies. Is it possible to re-initiate the authentication flow from beginning after the password reset?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sahan

Are you not able to make use of Branching Authentication Policies

Hi Tushar,

We could re-add the old branches again under the 3rd step, however we wanted to check if there's a more standard approach to just reset the authentication and send the user through the already existing authentication mechanism. Adding a bit more info below on the current setup,

#First Authentication
local-response-redirect-uri = [login] /mga/sps/authsvc?PolicyId=urn:ibm:security:authentication:asf:AA_userPass
 
#MFA

1.

get the url like this

var url = context.get(Scope.REQUEST, "urn:ibm:security:asf:request:parameter", "URL");

2.then you can set in the beginning of the rule

if(url != null){

state.put("URL", url);

}

later you can in any mapping rule fetch this using

var url=state.get("URL");

This is just a snippet , you can refine as you would like .
