| pawprint | hi, i'm trying to figure out how wikid works | 04:38 |
|---|---|---|
| pawprint | i've read the "How to add two-factor authentication to your network - the eGuide" | 04:38 |
| pawprint | and i don't see anywhere in there or anywhere else on the site a description of how a user actually gets the second factor (a one-time key) | 04:40 |
| pawprint | also, i'm not clear on whether the user is supposed to run any kind of client on his own machine or not | 04:40 |
| pawprint | oops.. just found the "How it Works" page | 04:42 |
| pawprint | "Fundamentally, WiKID Strong Authentication works this way: A user selects the domain they wish to use and enters the PIN into their WiKID Two-factor client…" | 04:42 |
| pawprint | ok, so there is a client app that the user needs to run on their machine | 04:43 |
| pawprint | and i see it in the downloads section now | 04:43 |
| pawprint | in the "Architecture Overview" section on that page: http://www.wikidsystems.com/learn-more/technology?ModPagespeed=noscript | 04:45 |
| pawprint | i don't get why there needs to be a OTP involved at all | 04:45 |
| pawprint | since the user is already authenticated to the server via their PIN | 04:45 |
| pawprint | i guess to prove that they're running the WiKID clients? | 04:46 |
| pawprint | that seems to be the only thing the OTP buys you in this instance | 04:46 |
