About this task

The authentication token is sent to the email addressed configured in SOTI Identity.

To configure email as an authentication factor in SOTI Identity:

Procedure

  1. In the SOTI Identity Admin Console, open the main menu in the top-left and select Account Settings.
  2. Select Authentication Factors to expand the menu item.
  3. Turn on the Enable Authentication by Email toggle.
  4. Enter a Token Expiry Time to limit how long before an email token in no longer valid and users must generate a new one.
    Token expiry time limits can be from 1 min to 5 min.
  5. Enter a Maximum Attempts limit to block users from excessive failed token entries. If the user fails to enter the token value correctly more than the limit, their SOTI Identity account locks until they reset their passwords.
