Overview - HTTP Authenticators
General information
Authenticators are used to identify users. Most authenticators call out to pipes to perform the actual execution of password validation, data access, manipulation etc.
Addressing an authenticator
HTTP authenticators are called upon using the URI <base_URI>/authenticate/<authenticator_alias>.

Authenticators
PhenixID Server currently ships with two types of http authenticators:
- Protecting PhenixID web apps (Configuration Manager, Self Service, MFA Admin and MyApps)
- Protecting external web applications using federation (SAML2)
Applications that do not support SAML2 can use the PhenixID HTTP Authentication API for integration.
