Configuring Bot Tokens for OTP Delivery
Protectimus Bots are used for delivering one-time passwords (OTPs) and important notifications from the Protectimus Two-Factor Authentication System to end users. OTP delivery through messaging apps addresses several key issues: it is much more secure than SMS authentication, completely free, and easy to use. ProtectimusBot chatbots are available on Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Viber. You can also create and connect your own chatbot by following these instructions.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to connecting your own bots to the Protectimus platform.
1. Check the Bot Box During Platform Installation
When installing the Protectimus On-Premise Platform:
- Ensure that you check the Bot box during the installation process.
- If the Protectimus On-Premise Platform is not yet installed, also check the Platform box to include the necessary components.
2. Edit the bot.yml Configuration File
- Navigate to the following directory: ./Protectimus/Bot/
- Open the bot.yml file in a text editor.
- Add the token(s) for the messaging platform(s) you intend to use.
Important: At least one token must be added; otherwise, the bot will not function.
Below is an example structure of the bot.yml file for reference:
