Enabling use of OneLogin Authenticator for PUSH Notifications

Defender 6.5.0 supports PUSH Notifications authentication using OneLogin protect app in addition to existing Defender Soft Token PUSH notifications.

It is configurable as following.

  1. The method for OneLogin token will remain same through ADUC or management Portal.

  2. User receives activation code only from OneLogin dedicated self-service Portal and allows them to register OneLogin token with OneLogin Protect app. For Detailed Steps and Options, see Token User Guide.

NOTE:

  • It can be used for authentication in clients named Defender Desktop Login, ISAPI, EAP.
  • It can be programmed through ADUC and the Management portal.
  • PUSH notification to OneLogin Protect will have precedence if both OneLogin token and Defender Soft token are enabled in registry and assigned to User.
  • There is no separate registry entry needed to configure push notifications time out value entry or to disable push notifications value entry. Single registry configuration for Timeout and Disable will work for both push tokens [OneLogin and Defender Soft Token]
  • In case, user has already existing OneLogin token assigned then only second step of activation through OneLogin portal is required.
