Adding a NEW page to Web Access

asked on May 26, 2016 • Show version history

We are looking at possibilities for 2 factor authentication in Web Access. I would like to create a NEW page that I drop in the virtual directory that will be called initially before the user is allowed to load the login page. The new page will send an email with the verification code. User will enter the code from the email they receive and then be redirected to login page if the code validates. I know I can use the Custom Login Module's OnBeforeLogin method to check for a session var set if a valid code was entered and validated.

Can I add the page that will handle the code sending/validation to web access and have to load/work with the solution?

Thanks,

Russ

One way to do this would be to set up a proxy server that enforces the authentication mechanism that you've described, and for authenticated users it will send their requests on to Web Access. This has the advantage that you don't have to mess with Web Access at all.

The unsupported way would be to add your page as a normal ASP.Net forms authentication page. Web Access doesn't use forms authentication, so it might work as long as you aren't trying to use auto-logon Windows authentication (since then you would have two required auth methods on the same application). I've never tried this and again it would not be a supported configuration, but you could give it a shot.
