MFA Configuration During the Installation of Simphony

When running the Simphony installation application, you are prompted to configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). You can either bypass or configure the MFA configuration.

In order to use the Can’t Sign In link for a forgotten EMC password, an email server is required to be configured.

1. To bypass the MFA configuration until after Simphony has been installed, deselect the Email One-Time Password checkbox, and then click Next.

   After you deselect Email One-Time Password, you receive a message that indicates your system is not in compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.

2. If you choose to configure MFA at this time, the configuration instructions are outlined in the Simphony Post-Installation or Upgrade Guide, specifically in the chapter named EMC Access Security. Search for the Configuring the SMTP and Backup SMTP Servers in the EMC section.

   If you are performing a Simphony Standard Cloud Service installation, MFA configuration that is completed during the installation of Simphony is duplicated for each enterprise. After Simphony is installed, you can go back and make edits in the EMC for individual enterprises (or organizations) that might have differing SMTP servers or settings from each other.
