One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication for Password Manager for AD LDS
Password Manager for AD LDS manages confidential user details both in on-premises and cloud-based environments. Therefore, One Identity strongly recommends using additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication to secure data. Available in the United States, Password Manager for AD LDS now supports the One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication service.
One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication (One Identity Starling 2FA) provides enhanced security by requiring users to provide two types of authentication to Password Manager for AD LDS: a user name and password combination, along with a token response. This token response is collected through an SMS, phone call, or push notification received on a physical device, for example a mobile.
Registering to One Identity Starling 2FA
To use Starling 2FA, you must register to the product. If you register with your mobile number, One Identity sends an SMS with a link of the Starling mobile app. Click the link to access the Apple App Store or Google Play Store from where you can download the Starling mobile app. Alternatively, visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and download the Starling app manually.
Starling 2FA supports the following authentication options:
- Push Notification: After the Starling app is downloaded and registered with the user email ID and mobile number, the user will receive push notifications to approve or deny Starling authentication.
- Voice: The user will receive a voice call on the registered mobile number. During the call, the user will receive an OTP.
- SMS OTP: The user will receive an OTP through SMS sent to their registered mobile number.
- Users can also open the Starling app and copy the code from the Starling app to Password Manager for AD LDS. To authenticate with this code, click Verify.
Logging in to the Password Manager for AD LDS sites with Starling 2FA authentication
If a user has Starling 2FA enabled, attempting to log in to a Password Manager for AD LDS site results in Starling 2FA prompting the user to enter the configured token response. Based on the option selected by the user, the token response is provided through SMS, phone call or push notifications.
After entering the token response and verifying the user successfully, the Password Manager for AD LDS site appears.
|
NOTE: Push notifications work only if the Starling app is installed on the device of the registered mobile number. The link to install the Starling app is sent to the registered mobile number at the time of registering to Starling. |
