Aspera on Cloud includes IBMid as an authentication mechanism for your organization. IBMid is IBM’s identity-as-a-service offering, and no additional configuration is required to use it with your AoC deployment. Some customers opt to use their own authentication provider, such as Google OAuth, or a SAML provider such as Okta, but many continue to use IBMid as one option.
IBMid now supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and AoC customers can enforce this as a requirement. Once enabled, IBMid users will need to supply an additional factor when logging in: either a verification code sent to their registered email address matching their IBMid, or a one time password from a TOTP client such as Google Authenticator or Authy.
Important Considerations:
To enable, log in to Aspera on Cloud as an administrator, then choose the Admin app in the app switcher in the upper right. Navigate to Organization → Authentication, then check the box for “Require multifactor authentication” in the IBMid section:
Click Save. The next time an IBMid user logs in, MFA will be enforced.
