== ACR to Level of Authentication (LoA) Mapping
|
|
|
|
In the login settings of a realm, you can define which `Authentication Context Class Reference (ACR)` value is mapped to which `Level of Authentication (LoA)`. The ACR can be any value, whereas the LoA must be numeric.
|
|
The acr claim can be requested in the `claims` or `acr_values` parameter sent in the OIDC request and it is also included in the access token and ID token. The mapped number is used in the authentication flow conditions.
|
|
|
|
Mapping can be also specified at the client level in case that particular client needs to use different values than realm. However, a best practice is to stick to realm mappings.
