Check which authentication method a user has used

Hi,

As part of a custom system login class (subclass of CL_ICF_SYSTEM_LOGIN), I would like to determine the method of authentication used.

Specifically I want to confirm that the logon method was SAML based.

Is there a way I can do this from the ABAP side?

Regards

Dagfinn

I assume you can't restrict the ICF node to SAML only? The used authentication method is contained in the server object, attribute IF_HTTP_SERVER~AUTHENTICATION_METHOD. The challenge is that it has the last one, e.g. if you authenticate using basic authentication and then you get redirected and the next authentication is with the security session the attribute will have a value of 10 instead of 1.
