Configuring SMS token

SMS token allows users in your organization to receive SMS messages containing one-time passwords on their SMS-capable devices. Before configuring and assigning the SMS token, you need to enable the use of the SMS token in the Defender Security Policy properties. After enabling the SMS token, make sure you assign the Defender Security Policy to the users you want. For more information, see Managing Defender Security Policies.

Ensure you provide the following information to each SMS token user:

  • User ID
  • Initial PIN (if the SMS token is configured to use a PIN)

To configure the SMS token for a user

  1. On the computer where the Defender Administration Console is installed, open the Active Directory Users and Computers tool (dsa.msc).
  2. In the left pane (console tree), expand the appropriate nodes to select the container where the user object is located.

Configuring VIP credentials

You can configure Defender to use Symantec Validation & ID Protection (VIP) credentials for two-factor authentication of users within your organization. VIP credentials are security tokens allowing you to generate one-time passwords. VIP credentials can be implemented as security cards, hardware tokens, and software tokens for mobile phones and Windows-based computers.

When working with VIP credentials, Defender acts as a proxy server, redirecting authentication requests to the Symantec VIP Service, a cloud-based authentication solution.

 

 

Upon receiving an authentication request from a user who has a VIP credential assigned, Defender redirects the request to the Symantec VIP Service via HTTPS. The Symantec VIP Service validates the authentication request—for that, the user’s VIP credential must be properly registered with the Symantec VIP Service—and provides a response to Defender. If the user has been successfully authenticated by the Symantec VIP Service, Defender allows that user to access the protected resource.

To configure Defender for working with VIP credentials, you need to install a VIP certificate issued by Symantec, configure the correct URL to the Symantec VIP Service, and program VIP credentials for users in your organization.
