Data Adapter

Data Adapter integrates Web Flow with other backends required for the authentication process.

You can obtain the war file which can be deployed to a Java EE container in releases.

The Data Adapter needs to be customized for each deployment. You can find the documentation for customizing Data Adapter in the Web Flow Customization project.

Data Adapter functionality

Following functionality needs to be customized during Web Flow deployment by implementing the Data Adapter interface (if applicable):

• convert username to user ID in case such conversion is required
• perform user authentication against remote backend based on provided credentials
• retrieve user details for given user ID
• initialize an authentication method and set its parameters, e.g. client certificate configuration
• decorate form data for given user (e.g. add user bank account list)
• form data change notification
• create an implicit login operation automatically on authentication start
• map a complex operation into smaller operations and configure PowerAuth operation template
• operation status change notification
• generate OTP authorization code and send authorization SMS
• send authorization SMS with previously generated OTP authorization code
• verify OTP authorization code from SMS
• authenticate user using user ID, password and OTP authorization code
• verify a client TLS certificate
• initialize OAuth 2.1 consent form
• create OAuth 2.1 consent form
• validate OAuth 2.1 consent form options
• save OAuth 2.1 consent form options
• execute an anti-fraud system (AFS) action and react on response from AFS
