How to Configure Two Factor Authentication(2FA/MFA) for Cisco Webex


SiteMinder is an Access Management component. It provides a centralized and secure policy management in large scale. SiteMinder can be configured to support two factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA).


Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multi-factor Authentication is the process of the authentication in which you have to provide two factors to gain the access into a particular application. First Factor is the one that you know username and password and Second factor is what you might have as unique, like a phone (For OTP) or Fingerprint. This additional layer of security prevents the unauthorized person from accessing the resources even if they know your username and password. miniOrange provides 15+ authentication methods and solutions to secure your applications.


Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.
