Authentication

Security in the Sitecore XC solution is based on certificates or on specific authenticated identities. Security is enforced at the controller level, and is based on a user's Sitecore credentials. Every user must be authenticated to be able to call any controller from the Commerce Engine.

There are two ways to authenticate:

• Certificate authentication
• Bearer token authentication

Additional security considerations include:

• HTTPS:// and SSL support
• No credit card storage option
• PCI Level 1 DSS 2.0 Certified Tokenization
• Strong password enforcement
• 90-day forced administrator password changes
• Back office geographical and proximity real-time validations
• Back office IP restriction access
