User Orchestration Using Authentication Actions
User-friendly and secure authentication is essential to keep users happy and protected. Authentication Actions empower you to create customizable flows to find the right balance between security and a seamless login experience.
What Are Authentication Actions?
Authentication Actions allow you to orchestrate what happens after the credentials are verified but before the session is committed. In other words, the user has been validated, but the system hasn't yet produced an authenticated session, which can later be used for Single Sign-On, etc. Actions are executed in the configured order - they can be chained - and depend on each other. They can look up information in databases, prompt the user for more information, or run other activities to ensure proper authentication and a secure login.
Authentication Workflow Designer
The 9.7 release of Curity Identity Server introduces a brand-new workflow UI for authentication actions, making configuration easier than ever. The Curity Identity Server's powerful user journey orchestration engine now features an enhanced interface, providing a full drag-and-drop overview of action pipelines on each authenticator page.

Action Bundles
This is a new way to work with Authentication Actions, where entire flows can be configured with only a few simple steps. Actions are bulding blocks and Action bundles are buildings, they provide recipes for well known patterns, with the full power of customizability.
