MFA Providers

When a sign-in needs MFA, AuthNull sends a push to the user's phone through your organization's MFA provider. Today AuthNull supports:

ProviderPush appBest for
DuoDuo SecurityDuo MobileOrganizations that use Duo
Okta VerifyOkta VerifyOkta VerifyOrganizations that use Okta

One provider is active per organization, and it is used for every product: Identity, Database, RADIUS, and PAM.

Coming soon

AuthNull AuthenticatorAuthNull Authenticator - AuthNull's own push app - is not released yet. Its card already appears on the MFA Provider page, but choose Duo Security or Okta Verify until the app is available. See AuthNull Authenticator (Coming Soon).

Choose a Provider​

Open the account menu (top right), choose Settings, then MFA Provider, and select a provider card. Only one provider can be active: once Duo Security or Okta Verify is saved, the other card shows Remove the active provider to switch.

DuoDuo Security​

Enter the details of your Duo application:

FieldExample
API hostnameapi-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com
Integration keyDI...
Secret keyYour Duo secret key

Users must be enrolled in Duo Mobile before you enforce MFA.

Okta VerifyOkta Verify​

Enter your Okta organization's details:

FieldExample
Okta org URLacme.okta.com
API tokenAn Okta API token (00T...)

Users must have Okta Verify enrolled in your Okta organization.

warning

AuthNull finds each user in Duo or Okta by email address. A user's email in AuthNull must match their Duo or Okta account, or the push cannot be delivered.

When you edit a saved provider, leave the secret fields blank to keep the stored values.

Provider Status​

StatusMeaning
ActiveConfigured for this organization; credentials are stored encrypted per organization
Deployment defaultNot configured for this organization - inherited from the deployment's default setting
IncompleteSaved, but some required details are missing

On the Users page, users show MFA managed by Duo Security or Okta Verify: their second factor is enrolled there, not in AuthNull.

How Users Sign In to the Console​

Signing in to the AuthNull console itself uses a password plus a second factor - an authenticator app code (TOTP), a passkey, or a push. See End-User Console Access.
