Does the following use case correctly describe passthrough authentication?

Passthrough authentication in SailPoint IdentityNow refers to a method where the authentication process happens through a trusted identity provider (IdP), rather than using credentials stored directly in SailPoint IdentityNow. The key feature of passthrough authentication is that the user's login attempt is authenticated via external authentication mechanisms such as Active Directory, SAML-based Identity Providers (IdPs), or other federated identity providers.

In the given use case, the user is logging into IdentityNow using a password set directly in IdentityNow during registration. This process describes local authentication (where IdentityNow manages the credentials), not passthrough authentication. Since passthrough authentication relies on external IdPs or federated systems, this case does not accurately describe passthrough authentication.
