Authentications
Introduction
Admin RA can only be browsed using a TLS Client Authentication certificate which is configured against the operator profile. However, if the Web RA Admin enforces the two-factor authentication then the Username (email address) and Password is required in addition to the TLS client certificate to login the Web RA Admin.
How it Works?
- When the two factor authentication (Enable password protection as a second factor authentication...) is enabled from the Configurations > General Settings, every user will be asked to set the password on their first login to the Web RA Admin portal as a second factor authentication.
- If the Enable password protection as a second factor authentication... was disabled after sometime and then re-enabled, only those user will be prompted to set the password for their accounts that are registered in the period when this option was disabled. The users that have already set their password will be prompted to enter the password.
- The user name for the Web RA Portal is the email address that is stored against the user profile. The username field is auto-populated and disabled by default, the user has to enter the password only to authenticate.
- For information on recover and change password, see the following:
