  5. Configure OTP through Email by updating the following Configuration Parameters:
    1. SFATypes - Types of Second Factor Authentication methods. To send OTP through Email, add Email to the list. Add Email if you are not using other SFA types.
    2. Email_Enabled - Set this attribute to true to send OTP through Email.
    3. IdentityStoreRef - Enter the user Identity store where your user details are stored and user is authenticated in First-level authentication.

      Note:

      After the first-level authentication, the adaptive authentication plug-in searches for the Email (required attributes for other types of SFA). If the IdentityStoreRef detail is not correct, then an error page is displayed after the First level authentication.
    4. UMSAvailable - Set the value to true.
    5. UmsClientUrl - Enter the value for UmsClientUrl. Adaptive Authentication Service uses Oracle SOA User Messaging Services to send the Email notification.
    6. EmailField – Enter the value for Email Address attribute in the User Identity Store. The Adaptive Authentication plugin fetches the value for this field to send the email notification.
    7. PinLength – Specify the length of the OTP pin sent through Email.
    8. PinChars – Specify the characters to generate the OTP. If you want only digits in the OTP, enter only “0123456789”.
    9. EmailMsgSubject – Email Subject for the OTP notification.
    10. EmailMsgFrom – From email address in the email notification.
    11. EmailMsgFromName – From name in the email notification
