1.1 Multi Factor Authentication - Access Control

This topic provides an overview on Multi Factor Authentication.

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is a method of confirming user access after multiple level of user access validation.

It includes:

• Authenticating the application User ID and Password.
• Additional authentication via third party multi-factor authentication provider.

Oracle FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing provides framework to enable Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) using third party MFA provider. MFA can be enabled at user level. If MFA is applicable for a user, user will be allowed to log in only after successful additional authentication implemented using MFA.

Oracle FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing is not shipped with any inbuilt third party MFA. IMFAAuthenticatePassword interface needs to be extended to implement MFA validation.
