Enable two-factor authentication

How to enable two-factor authentication in the ID Server User Portal:

  1. Create the authentication method needed in PSID Admin GUI. Remember the Friendly Name for the authentication method, it will be used later in the configuration.

  2. Open IIS Manager on Pointsharp ID Server (or wherever the User Portal resides).

  3. Click the User Portal site and choose Authentication.

  4. Enable Anonymous since all users must be able to reach the Forms Login Page unauthenticated.

  5. Enable Forms Authentication.

  6. Disable Windows Authentication if active (only Anonymous and Forms Authentication should be active).

  7. Click User Portal site again and go to Application Settings. The changes made here can also be done directly in the web.config file for User Portal:

  8. Locate the value FORM_AUTH_METHOD and enter the Friendly Name of the authentication method created in step 1.

Now the Pointsharp Login Form should be enabled, using the authentication method of choice.
