Each identity provider that you federate with EmpowerID can be configured with an LoA (Level of Assurance) point value to help users reach the required number of points to access EmpowerID, as specified on their assigned Password Manager Policies. LoA points granted by an SSO Connection start at 0 and can be incremented depending on the trust factor your organization places on the provider. For example, if you are setting the number of LoA points for an IdP, you might choose to give a more trusted identity provider, such as the Windows IdP, a point value of 2, and a less trusted IdP, such as a social media IdP, a point value of 1 or 0.

Info
If the IdP selected by users grants enough points to meet your policy requirements, those users are granted access once authenticated. If the IdP does not, further points must be acquired.

This article demonstrates how to set LoA points for the following identity providers:

External OAuth services
