Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two factor authentication also known as 2FA, strengthens the login security by providing one time password (OTP) in addition to username and password. 2FA supports RADIUS authentications with Console, Telnet, and SSHv2.

To perform 2FA, follow these steps:
  • When the Network access server (NAS) prompts for the username and password, provide the inputs.
  • If the credentials are valid:
    • RADIUS server sends a request to the SMS–OTP daemon to generate an OTP for the user.
    • A challenge authentication is sent from the RADIUS server as Reply–Message attribute.
    • If the Reply–Message attribute is not sent from the RADIUS server, the default text is the Response.
    • 2FA is successful only on providing the correct OTP.
  • If the credentials are invalid, the authentication fails.
NOTE 2FA does not support RADIUS authentications done with REST, Web UI, and OMI.
