DBIR once again makes the case for two-factor authentication
Posted by: admin 9 years, 7 months ago
The 2014 Verizon DBIR once again points to the need for two-factor authentication, just like last year. Hackers continue to use lost, stolen or weak credentials in attacks - three-quarters of all attacks. Imagine implementing a control that impacted 3/4ths of all attacks? Would that be beneficial. You bet.
Can I re-enable users after a certain amount of time?
Posted by: root 9 years, 7 months ago
Yes, you can. On the WiKIDAdmin interface, go to Configuration > Set Parameters > Create a New Parameter. Call it "reEnableHours" and set the number of hours you would like. Disabled users will automatically be re-enabled after that time. Be careful though, you do not want to automatically re-enable two-factor authentication for a user that has been disabled for a valid reason.
Heartbleed, Two-factor authentication and cascading failure
Posted by: admin 9 years, 8 months ago
For the record, we use java for certificates, not openssl, so the WiKIDAdmin server interface (which should not be Internet-facing anyway) is not vulnerable to Heartbleed.
How can I configure WiKID to start automatically.

Yes.
