Multi factor authentication with OAM alone !! [Part-2]

  • Now lets configure the 'AdativeAuthenticationPlugin
  • Click on 'Application Security' and  navigate to authentication plugins

  • Search for 'AdaptiveAuthenticationPlugin' and select the plugin
 
  • Update the below details as shown. These details will be same as what we have updated in the authentication module


 
  • Now click on Save to update the changes and click on 'Activation State' to make sure it is activated on the managed server.
 
Note: In this step, there might be issue sometimes in activating this Plugin . Reported error message would be ''Action failed due to inconsistent status of plugin in different managed servers". Refer to my other post on the fix for this issue.
  • Once the plugin is activated, Lets configure the authentication policy 
  • Navigate to 'Applciation security' -> Application domain 
  • Search for authentication policy that protected the our sample html file.
  • Click on Advanced Rules -> Post authentcation. Add the new rule 


  • This is the step where we redirect the user to additional authentication by configuring the below rule which always evaluates to true.
  • Add the rule as shown below and click on 'Add' to apply this rule.
 

  • Click on Apply to save this updated authentication policy.
 
  •  Now we have completed the configurations and lets validate the scenario.
Validation:
  • Lets make sure we have a user profile in OUD with mail populated with a valid email.
  • Now access the protected url in my case it is 
    • http://OHShost:OHSPort/test/test.html  
  •  Authenticate with username and password which is initial authentication step.
  • Once initial authentication is successful, you will be redirected to OTP screen which is additional step of authentication
  •  You can select OTP-> your email address and click on OTP. This will send an OTP code to the email address that is retrieved from UserIdentity store1

  • Enter the OTP received and click on Login button


  • That's all. You are now authenticated successfully through multi factor authentication which is One Time Pin(OTP) received through email
