| 7        | Map a Security ID user attribute for Smart Login to Microsoft Windows. The Security ID is a value that uniquely identifies users in your Windows environment.              | IDaaS smart credentials support encoding a Security ID value into certificates associated with a user's smart credentials. When using these smart credentials to perform Windows smart card login, this value in the certificate identifies the user in Windows.
