On-Premise Platform: Guide to Setting Up On-Prem Two-Factor Authentication

Protectimus provides two deployment options for multi-factor authentication:

• SaaS Service — a cloud-based solution hosted by Protectimus.
• On-Premise Platform — an on-premises solution deployed in the customer’s environment.

This guide describes how to get started with the Protectimus On-Premise Platform.

Instructions for getting started with the Protectimus SaaS Service are available in the Guide to Setting Up Cloud-Based Two-Factor Authentication.

1. Installing the Protectimus On-Premise Platform

Comprehensive instructions for installing the Protectimus On-Premise Platform are available in the Protectimus On-Premise Platform Installation Guide.

2. Initial Administrator Registration

When you finish the installation of the On-Premise Platform, the installer will automatically open the registration form at http://localhost:8080 or https://localhost:8443.

Create an administrator account and log in.

3. Configuring Basic Settings

Basic settings required for the operation of the Protectimus Two-Factor Authentication Platform include:

1. Adding Resource.
2. Adding Users. You can enable user synchronization with your directory or add/import users manually.
3. Adding Tokens.

   Note: If you plan to use Protectimus BOT, Protectimus MAIL, or Protectimus SMS tokens to deliver one-time passwords to your users, follow these instructions to set up the OTP delivery methods:

   • Setting Up Protectimus BOT Tokens
   • Setting Up Protectimus MAIL Tokens
   • Setting Up Protectimus SMS Tokens

4. Assigning Tokens to Users;
5. Assigning Tokens with Users to a Resource.

Also, some additional features are available:

• Adding Administrators;
• Setting up the Users’ Self Service Portal that allows users to enroll, register, and manage their tokens independently;
• Adding and assigning Geographic and Time Filters;
• Setting up Intelligent Identification.

4. Integration

Integrate the Protectimus On-Premise MFA Platform with the system you want to secure with two-factor authentication. To do this, find the relevant integration guide on the Integrations page.

If no suitable integration guide is available, contact Protectimus support.

5. Paying and Activating the License

After testing the Protectimus Platform successfully, you’ll need to get a license.

Instructions for getting a license are available in the How to Pay and Activate the License section of the Platform installation guide.
