Configure Two-Factor Authentication for organizations

Configure Two-Factor Authentication for organizations

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) provides stronger security for users logging into the appliance by adding an extra step to the login process. It relies on the Google Authenticator app to generate verification codes. The app generates a new six-digit code at regular intervals. When enabled, end users will be prompted for the current verification code each time they log in.

To download the Google Authenticator app, visit one of the following sites, as applicable:

•
Android devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2
•
iOS devices: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8

You can enable or disable 2FA access to the Administrator Console and User Console for one or more organizations using the System Administration Console, as described below. Alternatively, you can enable 2FA access to the Administrator Console and User Console for all users in an organization using the Two-Factor Authentication page in the Administrator Console For more information, see Enable Two-Factor Authentication for all users.

1.
Go to the Organizations list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, http://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Organizations, then click Organizations.
2.
On the Organization list page that appears, select one or more organizations for which you want to configure 2FA.
3.
To enable 2FA for all users in the selected organizations in the Administrator Console, click Choose Action > Two-Factor Authentication > Admin Portal > Required for all Users.
4.
To disable 2FA for all users in the selected organizations in the Administrator Console, click Choose Action > Two-Factor Authentication > Admin Portal > Not Required.
5.
To enable 2FA for all users in the selected organizations in the User Console, click Choose Action > Two-Factor Authentication > User Portal > Required for all Users.
6.
To disable 2FA for all users in the selected organizations in the User Console, click Choose Action > Two-Factor Authentication > User Portal > Not Required.

Delete organizations

Delete organizations

You can delete organizations as needed. However, if you have a single organization on your appliance, you cannot delete that organization until you add another one. The appliance must always have at least one organization available.

1.
Go to the Organization Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, http://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Organizations, then click Organizations.
c.
Click the name of an organization.
2.
Select Choose Action > Delete, then click Yes to confirm.

The organization, including information in the organization database, is removed from the appliance.

Customizing the logos used for the User Console and organization reports

Customizing the logos used for the User Console and organization reports

You can change the logo displayed on the User Console and in organization reports to match your company branding.

The User Console, and the reports you run when logged in to the organization through the Administrator Console, use the Quest logo by default. To upload your own logo, see the Logo Overrides section in Configure appliance General Settings without the Organization component.

Managing user accounts for organizations

Managing user accounts for organizations

Organization user accounts enable users to access the features of the Administrator Console, User Console, and Service Desk based on their roles assigned to their accounts.

You can use LDAP servers for user authentication, or you can add and edit user accounts manually. See:

•
Managing organization user accounts
•
Managing System-level user accounts
•
Using an LDAP server for user authentication
* 
CAUTION: Use caution when changing the password for the default admin account of an organization. Organizations whose admin account passwords differ are not available for fast switching using the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
CAUTION: See Enable fast switching for organizations and linked appliances.
