9 Setting Up OTP Anywhere

OTP Anywhere is a secondary risk-based challenge solution consisting of a server generated one time password delivered to an end user via a configured out of band channel. Supported OTP delivery channels include short message service (SMS), email, instant messaging and voice. OTP Anywhere can be used to compliment KBA challenge or instead of KBA. As well both OTP Anywhere and KBA can be used alongside practically any other authentication type required in a deployment. Oracle Adaptive Access Manager also provides a challenge processor framework. This framework can be used to implement custom risk-based challenge solutions combining third party authentication products or services with OAAM real-time risk evaluations.

This chapter focuses on setting up Oracle Adaptive Access Manager to use OTP for secondary, risk-based user challenges. Out of the box, OAAM provides User Messaging Service (UMS) as the delivery method. For other custom methods, refer to the "Developing Custom Challenge Types" chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.

9.1 Introduction and Concepts

This section introduces you to the concept of One Time Password (OTP) and how it is used in Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.

9.1.1 What is a One Time Password

A one-time password is a randomly generated, single-use authentication credential. OTP is a form of secondary authentication that is used in addition to standard user name and password credentials to strengthen the existing authentication and authorization process, thereby providing additional security for users. When the user is OTP-challenged, a one-time password is generated and delivered to the user through one of the configured channels. The user must retrieve the one-time password and enter it when prompted, before the one-time password expires.

The one-time password may be either numeric or alphanumeric and any configured length and the randomization algorithm is pluggable.

The following are major benefits of using out-of-band OTP:

  • The one time password is delivered to the valid user through one of the configured channels. These can include SMS, IM, email or voice.

  • The user does not require any proprietary hardware or client software of any kind.

9.1.2 About Out-of-Band OTP Delivery

Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g contains one time password authentication capabilities that support delivery of the OTP via the following four out-of-band channels:

  • email

  • SMS

  • voice messaging

  • instant messaging

By default, only cell phone registration is displayed on the OTP Registration page.

9.1.3 How Does OTP Work?

During the Registration process in OAAM, the user is asked to register for questions, image, phrase and OTP (email, phone, and so on) if the deployment supports OTP. Once successfully registered, OTP can be used as a secondary authentication to challenge the user.

The administrator can enable the OTP if the deployment supports OTP. The login process begins with entering standard user name and password credentials. During a session, for example, when the user is making a large transaction, if the user is OTP-challenged, the password is delivered to the user through the configured delivery channel. The user retrieves the one-time password, then enters it.

If the correct answer is provided, the user is directed to continue with the operation. If the user answers incorrectly, he is allowed other attempts until he either answers correctly or is locked out of his account after a certain number of failures. By default, the user is allowed three attempts to provide the correct answer.

9.1.4 OTP Failure Counters

The failure counter is incremented when the user supplies an incorrect answer during an OTP-challenge. OTP failures are counted across sessions.

Whether the user is locked out after a number of successive OTP failures or needs to try providing the OTP again depends on the failure counter value, the maximum number for OTP challenges set by the administrator. When the failure counter exceeds this value, the user is "OTP Locked" with no further opportunity for another attempt to answer. If the user is OTP-locked, he can call the Customer Service Representative to become unlocked.

When the correct OTP is provided by the user, the failure counter is reset to 0 and the user is allowed to proceed with the operation.

9.2 Challenge Type

The challenge type is the delivery channel used to send an OTP to the user. For example, policies can challenge using OTP via the challenge type (email, SMS, IM, or Voice).

Table 9-1 OTP Challenge Types

Challenge Type Description

ChallengeEmail

OTP challenge via email

ChallengeSMS

OTP challenge via SMS

ChallengeIM

OTP challenge via instant messaging

ChallengeVoice

OTP challenge via voice


An integrator can create or configure a challenge type to handle a challenge that is required, such as generating the "secret" used for the challenge to delivering the "secret" to the user and finally validating the user's input.

9.3 KBA vs. OTP

Oracle Adaptive Access Manager deployments may choose to use both KBA and OTP or each separately or no challenge mechanisms at all. If both KBA and OTP are being used in a deployment, the security team may choose to use OTP first for high risk situations and then fall back on KBA.

For example, a user logging in from a new IP in a city he often logs in from is relatively low risk on its own, so a KBA challenge is a good option to gain additional verification that this is the valid user. If, however, a user is attempting a funds transfer of more than $1000 using a device and location he has never accessed from previously and the user has never performed a transfer, a stronger measure such as OTP Anywhere would be warranted.

If a customer has both KBA and OTP enabled, the priority is configurable through properties. The default is to OTP challenge first and then KBA challenge for high risk situations.

For information on KBA and OTP Anywhere priority, see Table 11-22, "OAAM Challenge Trigger Combinations".

9.4 Quick Start

The first step in starting to use OTP Anywhere is to enable it using the Properties Editor in OAAM Admin.

This checklist provides you with the basic steps for enabling OTP Anywhere out of the box. Included are links to pertinent documentation and prerequisites.

Refer to Section 9.5.12, "Configuring OTP Presentation."


9.5.2 Configure UMS

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before configuring OTP for your application.

9.5.2.1 Install SOA Suite

Oracle SOA Suite must be installed outside of the OAAM domains. UMS is a part of SOA.

For information, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite.

9.5.2.2 Configure the UMS Driver

UMS must be configured for appropriate delivery gateways on the SOA that the OAAM Server is configured to send messages through.

UMS Drivers connect UMS to the messaging gateways, adapting content to the various protocols supported by UMS. Drivers can be deployed or undeployed independently of one another depending on what messaging channels are available in a given installation.

9.5.2.2.1 Email Driver

Configure the Email driver to a SMTP server. See the "Configuring the Email Driver" section of Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite for how to configure the Email driver.

9.5.2.2.2 SMPP Driver

Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) is one of the most popular GSM SMS protocols. User Messaging Service includes a prebuilt implementation of the SMPP protocol as a driver that is capable of both sending and receiving short messages.

Note:

For SMS, unlike the Email driver that is deployed out-of-the-box, you need to deploy the SMPP driver first before modifying the configurations.

Configure the SMPP driver as described in the "Configuring the SMPP Driver" section of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite. You will need to provide parameter values for connecting to the driver gateway vendor.

9.5.4 Enabling and Defining the OTP Challenge

The challenge type is the channel that OTP can use to challenge the user, such as Email, SMS, IM, and so on. The challenge type properties are used to associate a Challenge Type with a Challenge Processor, the java code needed to perform any work for challenges.

Enable the OTP challenge type you want to use to challenge the user if secondary authentication is required by setting the available flag. Set bharosa.uio.default.challenge.type.enum.ChallengeSMS.available to true.

Then, you can define the properties for the OTP challenge type, such as the required field for registration, and register the challenge processor that is handling the challenge processing.

To enable and define a challenge type, such as ChallengeEmail, ChallengeSMS, ChallengeQuestion, and so on, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to OAAM Admin.

  2. In the Navigation tree, double-click Properties under the Environment node. The Properties Search page is displayed.

  3. Search for bharosa.uio.default.challenge.type.enum and edit the properties for the out-of-the-box OTP challenge type:

9.5.5 Configuring Policies and Rules to Use OTP Challenge

Policies in the Challenge checkpoint determine the type of challenge to present the user. For more information, refer to Section 11.5.5.1, "OAAM Challenge."

To configure a policy with a rule that OTP-challenge users for specific scenarios, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to OAAM Admin.

  2. Create a policy with the Challenge checkpoint.

  3. Add a rule to the policy with the User: Check OTP failures condition.

  4. In the Conditions tab, specify the OTP Challenge Type when you define the condition.

  5. In the Results tab, select the Challenge Type for the Action group.

  6. If you want challenge questions enabled as well, use the Properties Editor and ensure that bharosa.uio.default.challenge.type.enum.ChallengeQuestion.available is set to true.

    In default policies, if OTP is enabled, KBA challenges occurs after a user is OTP blocked.

    High risk user are OTP Challenged. The user is presented with the appropriate virtual authentication device and receives the OTP through the proper channel. If the user fails the OTP challenge, he is KBA-challenged.

  7. Link the policy to all users.

9.5.6 Enabling Registration and Preferences

For the end user to be able to enter his profile and reset phases at a later time, the following properties must be enabled so that the fields that are set up for the pages can be used.

  1. Ensure that the OTP Challenge types are enabled.

  2. Use the Properties Editor in the OAAM Admin to enable OTP profile registration and preference setting. The properties are listed below.

    Table 9-8 Enable OTP Profile Registration and Preference Setting

    Property Description

    bharosa.uio.default.register.userinfo.enabled

    Setting the property to true enables the profile registration pages if the OTP channel is enabled and requires registration.

    bharosa.uio.default.userpreferences.userinfo.enabled

    Setting the property to true enables the user to set preferences if the OTP channel is enabled and allows preference setting.

    User Preferences is a page that allows the user to change their image/phrase, challenge questions, un-register devices, and update their OTP profile.


9.5.7 Customizing Registration Fields and Validations

Set up text and fields on registration and preference pages. Input properties includes maximum length for the email address the user can enter, validation for the email address field (expression), and so on.

OTP Anywhere Registration

bharosa.uio.default.register.userinfo.message

For your protection please enter your mobile telephone number so we may use it to verify your identity in the future. Please ensure that you have text messaging enabled on your phone.

bharosa.uio.default.register.userinfo.registerdevice.message

Check to register the device that you are currently using as a safe device:

bharosa.uio.default.register.userinfo.continue.button

bharosa.uio.default.register.userinfo.decline.button

Decline


Decline Button

To control the presence of the Decline button on the profile registration pages, set the following properties:

bharosa.uio.default.register.userinfo.decline.enabled = true

bharosa.uio.default.userpreferences.userinfo.decline.enabled = true

Note:

Even if these are true, the button will not show if the Opt Out property is false.

When the Decline button is enabled, the user will have another option on the OTP registration page that will allow him to Opt out of OTP challenges. He will not be asked to register OTP again, and will not receive OTP challenges. However, if a Customer Care OTP Profile reset is performed (or reset all) the user will have the opportunity to register OTP again.

Also, even if the user has opted out of OTP, he can access the OTP page in User Preferences and add information and click Continue. This will remove the OTP out flag and the user will now be registered for OTP.

Oracle OTP Code

bharosa.uio.default.ChallengeSMS.message.body

Your Oracle SMS OTP Code is: {0}


9.5.12 Configuring OTP Presentation

By default, challenge devices are configured through rules. The rules are under the Authentipad checkpoint and determine the type of device to use based on the purpose of the device (ChallengeEmail, ChallengeSMS, ChallengeQuestion, and so on).

To change the OTP Device used for challenges, change the OTP challenge type for the rule's result action.

Alternatively, if you want to configure challenge devices using properties you can bypass the Authentication Pad checkpoint by following these instructions:

  1. Log in to OAAM Admin.

  2. In the Navigation tree, double-click Properties under the Environment node. The Properties Search page is displayed.

  3. Set bharosa.uio.default.use.authentipad.checkpoint to false.

  4. Edit bharosa.uio.default.<ChallengeType>.authenticator.device=<Device> with the challenge type and the property for the desired device.

    bharosa.uio.default.ChallengeSMS.authenticator.device=DeviceTextPad
    bharosa.uio.default.ChallengeEmail.authenticator.device=DeviceTextPad
    

    Table 9-21 shows the property and the authentication pad that would be used. In the above example, the SMS authenticator is the Text Pad since the property, DeviceTextPad, was specified. (DeviceKeyPadAlpha would display a alphanumeric Keypad.)

For authentication device types, refer to Table 9-21.

Table 9-21 Authentication Device Type

Property Description

None

No HTML page or authentication pad

DeviceKeyPadFull

Challenge user using KeyPad.

DeviceKeyPadAlpha

Challenge user with the alphanumeric KeyPad (numbers and letters only, no special characters)

DeviceTextPad

Challenge user using TextPad.

DeviceQuestionPad

Challenge user using QuestionPad.

DevicePinPad

Challenge user using PinPad.

DeviceHTMLControl

Challenge user using HTML page instead of an authentication pad.


The OTP device is displayed at the next login to the application.

9.5.13 Customize Failure Counter

When a user fails the OTP challenge, a counter is updated to indicate that user has had a failure. The failure counter looks across sessions.

The failure counter is set by default in the OAAM Challenge Policy, but you can customize it by following these instructions:

  1. Open the OAAM Challenge Policy.

  2. Open the appropriate maximum failed OTP rule.

  3. In the Conditions tab, select User: Check OTP failures.

  4. Edit the appropriate properties.

    Table 9-22 User: Check OTP failures Values

    Property Description

    Description

    Checks if user's OTP failure counter value is over a specified value.

    Failures more than or equal to

    The number of failed attempts allowed

    If above or equal, return

    True or False

    OTP Challenge Type

    The challenge type is the channel that OTP is using to challenge the user.

"Henry" logs in to OAAM Server again. He is always challenged with SMS.

9.6.3 Use Case 3: CSR OTP Profile Reset with High Risk Always Challenge by Group

A high risk login from a user, who is registered for KBA but has had his OTP profile reset by customer service, is challenged by other methods before he is allowed to register a new OTP profile.

Note:

The user "Henry" has had his OTP reset.
  1. The user logs in to OAAM Server with the user name "Henry."

    He is challenged with KBA (since OTP is not registered).

  2. He answers the challenge question.

  3. He completes OTP Registration

  4. Later, he logs in again with user name "Henry."

  5. He is OTP Challenged.

9.6.4 Use Case 4: Unregistered Low Risk User (Risk Score 500 or Below)

An unregistered user in a low or no risk login situation is asked to register his image/phrase, challenge questions, and OTP profile.

  1. The user logs in to OAAM Server with user name "Stanley." "Stanley" is a low risk user.

    He is presented with the registration screens.

  2. He completes user registration.

9.6.5 Use Case 5: Registered Low Risk User (Risk Score 500 or Below)

A registered user logging in with a low risk situation is challenged with KBA.

  1. "Frank" logs in to OAAM Server at 1:00 pm.

  2. He does not have to register, so he presses Skip on the Registration page.

  3. "Phil" logs in to OAAM Server with the same device as "Frank" at 2:00 pm.

  4. He does not have to register, so he presses Skip on the Registration page.

  5. "Stanley" logs in to OAAM Server with the same device at 3:00 pm.

  6. "Stanley" is challenged because four users are logging in from the same device within 8 hours. The risk score is 500 (Rule Score is 1000, Weight is 100, Scoring Engine is Average), causing a KBA challenge.

9.6.6 Use Case 6: Unregistered High Risk User (Risk Score Above 500)

A high risk login by an unregistered user is not be permitted to register.

  1. High risk user, "Henry," logs in to OAAM Server with an invalid password four times.

  2. High risk user, "Henry," logs in to OAAM Server with the correct password.

  3. The user is locked since the risk score is 600 because of the invalid login attempts and the user is not registered.

9.6.7 Use Case 7: Registered High Risk User (Risk Score Above 500)

A registered user logs in under a high risk situation and an OTP challenge to occur.

  1. "Stanley" logs in to OAAM Server with the correct password.

  2. He is OTP (SMS) challenged since his risk score is up to 600 because of the invalid login attempts.

9.6.8 Use Case 8: Register High Risk Lockout

A user who has failed too many challenges can have their failure attempts reset by customer service.

In this scenario, a user is locked out by failing to correctly answer a challenge. The CSR must unlock the user, allowing him to log in. The user logs in and is challenged again.

  1. "Stanley" logs in to OAAM Server with the correct password

  2. He is OTP (SMS) challenged and types in an incorrect challenge value three times.

  3. He is asked to answer KBA challenge.

  4. He incorrectly answers KBA three times.

  5. He is blocked.

  6. He attempts to log in again but remains blocked.

  8. She unlocks OTP for him.

  9. "Stanley" logs in to OAAM Server with the correct password.

  10. He is challenged via OTP.

9.6.9 Use Case 9: High Risk Exclusion

If a user is unable to use OTP, he can be added to an exclusion group to prevent the high risk challenge from occurring.

  1. The Security Administrator logs in to OAAM Admin.

  2. He adds "Stanley" to the "High Risk Exclusion" user group.

  3. He modifies the OAAM Challenge Policy "Check for High Risk Score" rule to use "High Risk Exclusion" as the Excluded User Group in Pre-Conditions.

  5. He is KBA challenged instead of OTP challenged even though he has a high risk score.

9.6.10 Use Case 10: OTP Challenge with Multi-Bucket Patterns

"User: IP" is a multi-bucket pattern that creates a bucket for each IP used by a user. It enables evaluations such as the following: if Jen falls into an IP bucket that is less than 30% of all application users falling into that bucket, then OTP challenge her.

  1. The Security Administrator logs in to OAAM Admin.

  2. He creates a multi-bucket pattern for the member type "user" with an operator, "For each" and attribute "IP."

  3. He confirms a policy which contains a rule with the following conditions- Has this user logged in at least twice in the last 3 months, Compare User Entity with all entities in picture (30%), and Has this user OTP registered.

  4. Jen logs in the OAM Server

  5. She performs OTP registration

  6. She logs in 2 more times from the same IP.

  7. For her 4th login, she logs in from a different IP.

  8. The rule triggers.
