UserCheck Setting Options

• Languages

  Set a language for the UserCheck message if the language setting in the user's browser cannot be determined. For example:

  • If the browser native language is Spanish
  • The UserCheck message is in Japanese and French
  • You select Japanese as the default language

  Then the notification displays in Japanese.

• Fallback Action

  Select an alternative action (Accept or Drop) for when the UserCheck notification cannot be shown in the browser or application that caused the notification. If UserCheck determines that the notification cannot be shown in the browser or application:

  • An Accept fallback action (the default for Inform messages) lets the user access the website or application, and the UserCheck client (if installed) shows the notification.
  • A Drop fallback action configures the gateway to show the notification in the application that caused the notification. If the gateway cannot, and the UserCheck client is installed, the notification shows in the client. The website or application is blocked, even if the user does not see the notification.
• Conditions

  User accepted and selected the confirm checkbox - This applies if the UserCheck message contains a checkbox. Users must accept the text shown and select the checkbox before they can access the application.

  User filled some textual input - This applies if the UserCheck message contains a text field. Users must enter text in the text field before they can access the application. For example, you might require that users enter an explanation for use of the application.

• External Portal
  • Redirect to External Portal - Select this to redirect users to an external portal, not on the gateway.
  • URL - Enter the URL for the external portal. The specified URL can be an external system that obtains authentication credentials from the user, such as a user name or password. It sends this information to the gateway.
  • Add UserCheck Incident ID to the URL query

    An incident ID is added to the end of the URL query.

  • Confirmation sent to the gateway

    The URL template field points to an XML file. This file should be placed on the external portal so that it can be sent back to the Security Gateway.

    The pre-shared secret authenticates the external portal to the Security Gateway.
