Attestation by mail

To provide attestors who are temporarily unable to access One Identity Manager tools with the option of making attestation case decisions, you can set up attestation by email. In this process, attestors are notified by email when an attestation case is pending their approval. Approvers can use the links in the email to make approval decisions without having to connect to the Web Portal. This generates an email that contains the approval decision and in which attestors can state the reasons for their approval decision. This email is sent to a central mailbox. One Identity Manager checks this mailbox regularly, evaluates the incoming emails and updates the status of the attestation cases correspondingly.

IMPORTANT: An attestation cannot be sent by email if multi-factor authentication is configured for the attestation policy. Attestation emails for such attestations produce an error message.
