Example One: Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

In the fourth part of the example we enable two-factor authentication and set %Service_Console to use cascading authentication.

Here are the steps:

1. Create a new user. See Creating a User for instructions.

2. Add the new user to the %All role. See Adding a User to a Role for instructions.

3. Enable two-factor authentication for the system. See Two-Factor Authentication for details.

4. Configure the new user for two-factor authentication. See Two-Factor Authentication for details.

5. Click %Service_Console on the Services page (click [Home] > [System Administration] > [Security] > [Services]) of the Management Portal.

6. On the Edit Definition page for %Service_Console click both Two-Factor Authentication Enabled and Password. Make sure that no other authentication mechanism is selected.

   

7. Now launch the Terminal. Click the InterSystems Launcher in your System Tray. Click Terminal from the menu.

8. Terminal prompts you for a user name and then a password. Enter the username and password that you created in steps 1-3 above. After entering the password, InterSystems IRIS prompts you for the security code that it has sent to your mobile phone.

   
   Username: JSmith
   Password: ***
   A security code is being sent to your mobile phone.
   Enter security code:
