Features / Identity-flow integrity
Treat related identity operations as a coordinated sequence where order, dependencies and completion state matter.
Explore the design intent, review practical decisions and validate exact behavior against your deployed configuration.
Why it matters
Signup, authentication, step-up, recovery and profile updates can each be secure in isolation yet produce a vulnerability when combined in the wrong order.
Design intent
Record the relationship between steps, validate allowed transitions and ensure completion is reported only when required child operations have completed. Design retries and rollback or recovery paths intentionally.
Worked scenario
A sign-in transaction requests step-up and a risk check before creating a session and returning a token.
Boundary to verify
Confirm enforcement at the relevant server, API, resource or operational decision point. A hidden button or an informative dashboard is not, by itself, an authorization control.
Practical path
Use these stages as a review guide. Exact settings and enforcement points depend on the configured deployment and connected systems.
Identify the actor, target resource and operation that transactions is meant to govern.
Record the relationship between steps, validate allowed transitions and ensure completion is reported only when required child operations have completed. Design retries and rollback or recovery paths intentionally.
A sign-in transaction requests step-up and a risk check before creating a session and returning a token. Also test the path that should be denied, deferred or sent for review.
Check that the resulting state is understandable and that the decision can be investigated later. For audit-enabled operations, confirm the relevant actor and context are captured.
Before rollout
A capability is easier to operate when ownership, failure behavior and verification are defined upfront.
This page describes a design approach based on WebFrolic’s documented product model. Verify feature availability and exact behavior in your environment before relying on it for a control requirement.

Evaluate with your scenario
Share the identities, resource boundary and decision you want to test. The walkthrough can focus on the relevant behavior rather than a generic feature tour.
