Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication in the eAuditor system enables additional security of user credentials during the login process. This results in the introduction of an additional authentication layer referred to as ePass. As a result, in addition to the standard way of logging in (providing an access element such as a login and password), which confirms the user’s credentials through the system for local accounts or AD DS/LDAP for domain accounts, physical hardware security authentication is required.

How is the authentication setup done?

The configuration of key authentication is done by default and uses HTTP (unencrypted data transfer for the Internet). In addition, the configuration of encrypted HTTPS communication is required for two-factor authentication.

Technical support

As part of the implementation, IT administrators receive full support for generating the certificate and configuring Apache Tomcat 8.5 or later.

Benefits

Additional layer of security
Two-factor authentication introduces an additional layer of protection beyond the standard login and password, which significantly increases the security of user accounts.
HTTPS configuration
Enforcing encrypted HTTPS communication increases the security of data transmission, eliminating the risk of sensitive information being intercepted during login.
Integrations
Available integrations with website databases.
Physical hardware security
The ePass (hardware security) authentication requirement ensures that access to the system is only possible after physical proof of identity.
Full technical support
Administrators receive support in the process of generating an SSL certificate and configuring Apache Tomcat, making it easy to properly implement and maintain a secure environment.
API
Open APIs available.
