14 Setting Up Background Images

The Adaptive Strong Authenticator device uses personalized images to enhance security. Oracle provides you with a compressed file of images.

14.1 Setting Up the Images for Authentication Devices

To modify the authentication devices information

1. Create a background images directory inside a file system that can be accessed by Adaptive Risk Manager Online. Ensure that the directory is secure with restricted access privileges.

2. Uncompress the image archive to that directory.

3. Add the following property to the bharosa_client.properties file.

   bharosa.image.dirlist=/bharosa_images/allpads/textpad/
   

4. Update the bharosa_server.properties file to point to the shared images directory.

   Ensure that you have the path set correctly. If the image path is not configured properly, the images will not display in Adaptive Strong Authenticator.

   Note:

   Each server machine should have the images, and the property files should have the same path configurations.

14.2 Sample Code

Code sample in bold type is provided below.

#this is to point to the shared image directory, both bharosa_client.properties and bharosa_server.properties
#should point to the same value

bharosa.image.dirlist=/bharosa_images/allpads/textpad/
