Read this article to get the correct value for the roles property.

NOTE: To limit login to specific group membership, please use the following example for LDAP search:

"filter_template" : "(&(objectclass=*)(uid={{request.username}})(memberOf=CN=Group1,OU=Training,DC=company,DC=local))"

Enable authenticator for the web app

When the steps above has been completed, we can enable the new authenticator for the web app.

In Configuration Manager, go to the tab Advanced and then press the pencil next to Modules.
Find the module that reference the "auth_redirect_url" for the web app.
The last part of the value should be changed to the alias of the HTTP Authenticator, "unpwotp" in the example above.

So it should now look similar to this:

{
        "name": "com.phenixidentity~phenix-prism",
	"enabled": "true",
	"config": {
	   "base_url": "/selfservice",
	   "auth_redirect_url": "/selfservice/authenticate/unpwotp",
      "http_configuration_ref": "da5095a3-95ce-485b-b6ae-41be99bed01b",
	     "module_refs": "baad7c09-83b5-45b2-97d5-dfeb1351a1ef",
	     "enable_roles": "true"
		},
		"id": "e64a779c-5140-4eec-84ee-958dae935f0c"
	} 

NOTE: In the example above the parameter  http_configuration_ref has been added because the default port and  protocol is not used for Myapps. So when using a different port and if  the setting for SSL has been changed from default, please use this  parameter and set the value to the HTTP configuration that should be  used.

When done press Stage changes and then Commit changes.
Web app should now use the newly configured authenticator.
