Authentication Token Storage

The login and authentication process is critically important to an application’s user experience and availability. During the login process, after the user has successfully enters their credentials, an authentication server creates an authentication token for the duration of the user session. Redis Enterprise excels as an authentication token store. Its speed enables significantly better login experiences while ensuring mission-critical applications are always available and scale seamlessly. Why not make a good first impression?

How it works for a mobile banking app

1. A user enters their credentials.
2. An IDP system (authentication server) validates the user credentials and generates an authentication token.
3. That authentication token is stored in Redis Enterprise for the duration of a user session. The app and all its components can consult the token to recognize the user as validated.
