Two Factor Authentication with Event Handler Framework

privacyIDEA will provide an Event Handler Framework in the upcoming release 2.12.

Policies for Two Factor Authentication

Using policies you can already configure privacyIDEA in a very detailed and sophisticated manner. The administrator can define the behaviour of privacyIDEA. This way you can run privacyIDEA in many differenz scenarios and find a solution for all requirements. Policies change the authentication and authorization behaviour. The administrator can define security levels or perform an easy migration.

Event-Handler

With the Event-Handler you get completely new possibilities. While policies change the behaviour of privacyIDEA, the Event-Handler does not change this, but starts completely new actions depending on events without changing the behaviour define by the policies.

 

event-handler-enThe screenshot above shows an event definition for the event “token_init”. This is the event of initializing or enrolling a token. In addition to the way the token is initialized, now the action “sendmail” is triggered. The logic is implemented in the handlermodule “UserNotification”. The interesting thing is, that such an action can be bound to any arbitrary event.

 

More Event-Handler-Module

The first event-handler module to be shipped is the module “UserNotification”. More modules are about to follow. A moduel “Enrollment” could trigger and action to enroll a certain token type for a user — as an reaction to any kind of event!

This way you get unimagined possibilities to design new, creative configurations and workflows. Once more privacyIDEA proves, that it is a modern, innovative and trend-setting authentication system.
