Authentication Orchestration

🎯 Overview

Authentication Orchestration is the core process that manages user authentication flows in the REL-ID Web Portal. The system intelligently determines the authentication path based on browser recognition status and orchestrates the multi-factor authentication process to ensure secure user verification.

🏗️ Core Concepts

🌐 Browser Recognition System

• Unrecognized Browser: Browser that hasn't been marked as "remembered" by the user
• Recognized Browser: Browser previously trusted through "Remember Me" option
• Recognition Trigger: User selecting "Remember Me" during authentication
• Duration: Browser remembered for configured period (default: 1 year)

🔒 Authentication Orchestration Logic

• Factor Determination: System analyzes user profile to determine available factors
• User Type Detection: Identifies REL-ID mobile users vs. web-only users
• Flow Selection: Chooses appropriate authentication path based on user and browser status
• MFA Enforcement: Ensures multi-factor authentication completion before granting access
