Security Token How-To

1. Log into the portal using your username and password and navigate to ADMINISTRATION  -> MY DETAILS

2. Note your user details, there should be a SECURITY TOKEN link visible ready to be used for the first time.

3. The security token setup window is displayed where you can generate your key to add to your desired authenticator application.

4. Once the Generate button is pressed, a TOTP Seed key and a Google Authenticator key are displayed. For convivence, a QR code is generated that can be scanned by an authenticator app.

 

We strongly recommend that a separate physical device such as a phone, tablet or hardware key be used for multi factor authentication. 

Google authenticator for mobile devices can scan the generated QR code using the device camera to retrieve the token key and setup your authentication.

For desktop authenticators such as YubiKey hardware keys, a screen capture function is available where it can capture the generated displayed QR code from the screen.

Otherwise for applications such as WinAuth you will need to copy and paste the URL to the QR code image or manually input the key code into the authenticator.

Once the key generator window is closed, your keys are no longer accessible using this function and need to be regenerated and you are returned to your user details.

5. The final step to Security Token setup is to select whether two factor authentication is mandatory required or not on login by selecting REQUIRED or NOT REQUIRED.
