Establishing User Identity Through Authentication

---

Authentication is the process of establishing each user's identify before they can access your application. Authentication may require a user identify a username and password or could involve the use of digital certificates or a secure key.

When you create an authentication scheme, you have the option of choosing from a number of preconfigured authentication schemes, copying an authentication scheme from an existing application, or creating your own custom authentication scheme.
