Key Features
Phone App Option
The phone app adds a third authentication option for users. It works anywhere the user’s phone is connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network, and there are no additional costs for international use. Unlike soft tokens on phones, the PhoneFactor phone app provides out-of-band protection from malware and MITM attacks.
User Provisioning and Management
Leverage your existing directory system(s) to auto-enable new users and update existing users. Configure Active Directory or LDAP organizational units, security groups or specific users to synchronize – each with their own set of synchronization and security rules.
User Enrollment
Direct users to the User Portal to enroll in PhoneFactor. By completing two quick steps – validating their phone number and setting security questions – the user will be enabled for PhoneFactor. For phone app users, a code is provided to activate the app on their phone. After enrolling, users can login to the User Portal at any time to change their PhoneFactor settings, such as phone number and PIN changes or to change their authentication method.
User Management for Help Desks
Allow IT administrators or help desk staff to manage user settings and create a one-time bypass from a simple web-based interface. Administrators can also add new users and disable existing users.
Unlimited Enterprise Applications
Enable two-factor authentication across your entire enterprise. Authenticate directly to your enterprise applications, use a remote authentication system like RADIUS, or add to a single sign-on solution like those offered by Imprivata and IBM Tivoli.
Unlimited Websites
Secure all of your web properties by enabling PhoneFactor for an unlimited number of websites. Maintain pre-production environments with multiple sites and servers for development and testing. Maximize performance and uptime by installing PhoneFactor to your web clusters.
Advanced Network Configurations
Maximize performance and uptime by extending redundancy and fail over capabilities across an unlimited number of PhoneFactor Agents. Deploy PhoneFactor in your Citrix and IIS server farms or remote offices across a wan. Support multiple groups of synchronized agents for additional flexibility.
Custom Integrations
The Web Service SDK provides an interface for integrating the PhoneFactor Agent, including directory integration, user provisioning, and user management, into any application. The Web Service SDK uses the PhoneFactor Agent as the data store, making integration much easier with less modification to the application with which it is being integrated.
