SECURING

1. Issuing a Multi-Factor Authentication Certificate

To allow the use of time-based one-time password (TOTP) authentication, use themfamgt server command to issue a Multi-Factor Authentication Certificate for the the organization unit (OU) or organization (O) of those users that will be using TOTP.

Before you begin

Make sure your ID vault server runs Domino 12 and the ID vault database is upgraded to the Domino 12 idvault.ntf template design.

Procedure

1. At the console of a vault server, issue the following command:

mfamgmt create trustcert <OU or O to allow> <certifier ID file> <certifier password>

For example:

mfamgmt create trustcert "*/O=mfatest1" cert.id sr$1ulv7bYT

Note:

Make sure the certifier ID for the OU or O you want to create a Multi-Factor Authentication Certificate for is located in the Domino data directory. This ID file can be removed again from the Domino data directory once the Multi-Factor Authentication Certificate is successfully completed. Make sure you have it stored safely somewhere else before deleting.
If you use the Domino Administrator to issue the command, you can use the Password Commands option to display a box in which to enter the password, which masks the characters in the password with asterisks. For more information, see Sending commands from the Domino Administrator console.

2. Replicate the Domino directory changes to all servers in the domain.

3. Open the Domino directory on any server in the domain, select theCertificates view, and verify that you see a Multi-Factor Authentication Certificate similar to the following one: Example Multi-Factor Authentication Certificate for /mfatest1

4. Issue the show idvault command and verify that output lists the MFA trust for the correct organization, as shown in bold in the following example:

> show idvault
