Micro Focus NetIQ Advanced Authentication

What do you like best?

The tool has a lot of flexibility and integration methods. This allows you to be flexible in how your users interact with the system and can allow you to give your users the ability to have some choice in how they authenticate.

What do you dislike?

When we first implemented the Advanced Authentication system there were some things that we felt an enterprise class system should be able to do that it could not. One example was it did not have the ability to use a web proxy to access the Internet for when you need to connect to services such as Twilio to be able to send SMS or voice messages. Thankfully Micro Focus was very responsive while we were in the process of implementing the solution and they would quickly release new features that we needed to make our implementation successful.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are a government contractor and for access to a provider portal that we provide we were required to implement MFA for users to access the portal. Since we use NetIQ Access Manager for the reverse proxy and authentication that protects this portal, using the Advanced Authentication system for the MFA implementation was a simple process due to the integration of NAM and Advanced Authentication.
