One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that provides two-factor authentication on a product, enabling organizations to quickly and easily verify a user's identity. This service is provided as part of the One Identity Starling cloud platform. By joining with One Identity Starling, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords customers can take advantage of companion features from multiple Starling services, such as Starling Two-Factor Authentication and Starling Connect.
Once Safeguard for Privileged Passwords is joined to Starling, the following Safeguard for Privileged Passwords features are enabled and can be implemented using Starling Two-Factor Authentication:
Secondary authentication
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports two-factor authentication by configuring authentication providers, such as Starling Two-Factor Authentication, which are used to configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's authentication process such that it prompts for two sources of authentication when users log in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
A Starling 2FA service provider is automatically added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords when you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to Starling. As an Authorizer or User Administrator, you must configure users to use Starling 2FA as their secondary authentication provider when logging in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
Approval Anywhere
The Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Approval Anywhere feature integrates its access request workflow with Starling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), allowing approvers to receive a notification through an app on their mobile device when an access request is submitted. The approver can then approve (or deny) access requests through their mobile device without needing access to the desktop or web application.
Approval Anywhere is enabled when you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to One Identity Starling. As a Security Policy Administrator, you must define the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users authorized to use Approval Anywhere.
Later in the guide, we will step through the process of configuring a user to require two-factor authentication as well as logging in with two-factor authentication. We will also discuss how to define the users who are authorized to use Approval Anywhere to approve access requests.

Standard users do not have any Safeguard for Privileged Passwords administrative permissions. These users can be granted rights to request access, approve access requests, or review completed access requests. For more information, see the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide, Adding a user section.
NOTE: You can perform the exercises in this guide with directory users as well as local users. To do that, you must add a directory, directory users, and an authentication provider.
To streamline your software evaluation, we recommend that you simply use local users. The access request workflow is the same no matter what users perform them. To make your user experience more realistic, you can set up other local users from your test lab to be a Requester, Approver, and Reviewer or use the test users we suggest creating below.
| Username | Password | Permissions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joe | Test123 | None | The Requester user, authorized to request access. |
| Abe | Test123 | None |
The Approver user, authorized to approve access requests. See the following procedure for more information on how to configure Abe for two-factor authentication. |
| Ralph | Test123 | None | The Reviewer user, authorized to review past (or completed) access requests. |
| Pete | Test123 | None | The delegated partition owner. |
