Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication

To enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), navigate to the Settings->Security menu and select Authentication tab.

When Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled by the administrator in MetaDefender Managed File Transfer, the following user types will be required to set up MFA during their next login:

  • Local users
  • Guest users
  • Active Directory users
  • External users

To set up MFA, the users must download a TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) client app on their phone. (e.g. Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator)

In case of any issues, once a user has set up their MFA, the administrator can reset the user's MFA. Subsequently, the user will be prompted to set up their MFA again during their next login.
