Managers

This screen lists the Authentication Managers that have been added to Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication. You can use settings on this screen to view, add, and delete Authentication Managers. At least one Authentication Manager must be added before configuration settings can be made (using the Settings screen). The Authentication Manager set to Primary is the one used for configuration (see Edit Manager screen).

The Authentication Manager is Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication's central processing component. It houses all the configuration settings and user registration data, and is the software that users connect to when they authenticate. Administration of the Authentication Manager is controlled with HelpSystems Insite. See the HelpSystems Insite User Guide for more details on HelpSystems Insite.

Upon signing on to any system secured by Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication, an Authentication Manager is chosen at random to process the authentication request.
