About Authentication Default Settings

Watch a video about Authentication Default Settings.

Zscaler supports different types of provisioning and authentication methods. You can configure the default authentication profile according to the authentication method you choose. To learn more about authenticating users, see About Provisioning and Authenticating Users.

The Authentication Default Settings provide the following benefits and enable you to:

  • Force all users in your organization to reauthenticate with a single click.
  • Configure Kerberos authentication.
  • Configure a default authentication profile for your organization.

The Default Settings page displays limited options if you're subscribed to the ZIdentity service. The unavailable settings are managed in the ZIdentity Admin Portal. To learn more, see What Is ZIdentity?
