To enable Moonshot authentication on an Application client, the device first needs the Moonshot libraries installed and configured, then the application client needs to be configured to use them.
Install Moonshot Libraries on a Client
- These pages include information on how to install the necessary software components on a client device running the application that you wish to enable for Moonshot authentication upon.
Configure Moonshot Libraries on a Client
- Once installed, the Moonshot Libraries may need to be configured (though often no configuration changes are necessary).
Identity Selection
- Users need a way of selecting the identity they wish to use when authenticating to a Moonshot-enabled service. The Moonshot project provides software to do this: the Moonshot Identity Selector. Windows users also have an alternative: the built-in Windows Credential Manager.
Configure a Client Application to use Moonshot
- Finally, your client application itself may need configuring to use Moonshot as your authentication method of choice. This section lists all known applications that work with Moonshot, with details on any configuration necessary.
