Analyzing the Federated Login Attempts¶

The Federated Login Attempts statistical visualization displays statistics relating to federated authentication.

A federated authentication is an authentication activity that is carried out via a federated identity provider.

The successful authentication attempt for a single federated step is considered a federated authentication success. Similarly, a failed authentication attempt for a single federated step is considered a federated authentication failure.

If there are multiple constituent steps, each federated authentication step is considered separately. A failed federated authentication attempt is counted as a failure only if a failed response is received from a federated identity provider. There can be situation where federated identity provider will not send the response back. Such are not counted as authentication failure as the flow was broken in the middle.

The statistics displayed in this page include all the federated login attempts that are performed via federated identity providers over time as well as the local login attempts filtered based on service providers, identity providers, and users
