Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFAClosed Multifactor Authentication - an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism.) is an additional layer of security for the Infinity Portal. With MFA, Infinity Portal users must use an authentication app or SMS code to confirm their identities before they get access to the Infinity Portal. All new Infinity Portal accounts are created with MFA enabled.

Organizations can configure and manage MFA as part of Single Sign-On (SSOClosed Single Sign-On (SSO) - A session/user authentication process that permits a user to enter one name and password in order to access multiple applications.) with an Identity ProviderClosed A system entity that creates, maintains, and manages identity information for principals and also provides authentication services to relying applications within a federation or distributed network. Acronym: IdP or IDP.. For example, an organization requires MFA as part of user authentication through Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Infinity Portal users who log in through Microsoft Entra ID authenticate themselves with MFA according to the policy configured by the organization's Microsoft Entra ID administrator.

Managing MFA for Infinity Portal Users

This video shows you how to manage MFA for Infinity Portal users.

An Infinity Portal Primary Administrator, Admin, or User Admin can view and reset a user's MFA configuration.

Enforcing MFA Policy for All Users

A Primary Administrator must set up a MFA policy for all users who log in to the Infinity Portal account with their username and password.

Notes:

  • Multi-Factor Authentication is required for all Infinity Portal accounts where users log in with a username and password. If you previously disabled MFA, you must re-enable and enforce it for those users.

  • For users who log in with SSO, MFA is optional.

This video shows you how to enforce MFA for all users of an Infinity Portal account.

Enforcing MFA Policy for Child Accounts using API

Because MFA is mandatory for all accounts that use a username and password to log in, primary administrators must enforce the MFA policy for all child accounts. These are Customer accounts managed by MSSPs and Customer accounts managed in a large enterprise by a Customer Parent.

Primary administrators that manage multiple accounts may need access to the child accounts that use API automation. To get access, the primary administrator needs an Account API key to create new API keys for child accounts. For more information, see API Keys.
