Supported Providers and Credential Types

Different security providers allow users to supply different user credentials. If your security policy mandates that a specific credential type or strength be used, review the providers that are available to you.

Credentials and Providers

Tokens	HTTP

Considerations for Using E-mail Addresses as User Names
At registration, application users can use an e-mail address as a user name in Unwired Platform. However, those users must ensure that e-mail addresses are processed correctly, especially when a security configuration is paired with the e-mail address.
