and the Authentication Type is Client Certificate, select the

Directory Sync Group Attribute

(Multiple Authentication Mode only) Define the
Authentication mapping order
by selecting the configured authentication types that you want to use to authenticate users.

(Multiple Authentication Mode only) During authentication, the Cloud Identity Engine uses the given user identity information to obtain the directory group information for the user to determine if the user’s group has an assigned authentication type. If the user belongs to multiple groups, the Cloud Identity Engine uses the first authentication type you assign to the group for user authentication.

Select the
Default authentication type
that you want the Cloud Identity Engine to use to authenticate users if the user is not in an assigned group.
As a best practice, assign an authentication type for each group you want to authenticate using the Cloud Identity Engine.

Choose directories and groups
by selecting a directory or selecting
All Directories
.

You can also search by
Directory Sync Group Attribute
(such as
Common-Name
).

Select the group or groups from each directory that you want to authenticate using the authentication type you select in the next step.

Select an authentication type
and
Assign
it to assign this authentication type to the group or groups you selected.

Review your selections by authentication type or select
All Authentication Types
to see all assigned groups.

Submit
your changes to configure the authentication profile.
