A new way to perform multifactor authentication using specialized SaaS software
Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to One month I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors. I have been using SecurID tokens and wanted something that didn't require hardware authentication devices.…

The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions. The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seek an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Being a partner of DigiSet, we rely on the implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to."
"I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks such as certificate renewal. The requirement extends to the ability to generate new certificates from a local server within the data center. There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance and highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."
"The public key infrastructure certificates issued by the PKI servers helped me set up good client-server authentic communications."
"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates."
 

Cons

"I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors."
"From an automation perspective, PKI is a bit of a debatable topic and can be improved as time demands."
