Accessing Authentication Settings:

1. Login to the SiteWALL Portal: Start by logging into your account on the SiteWALL portal.
2. Navigate to Configurations: Once logged in, click on the 'Configuration' tab in the main menu.
3. Open Authentication Settings: Click on 'Authentication' to access the authentication settings page.

Available Authentication Methods: SiteWALL supports two primary methods of authentication:

• Local Users: This method uses user accounts created directly in the SiteWALL portal.
• Google Authentication: This method allows users to log in using their Google account credentials.

Enabling Authentication:

• Select the Appropriate Authentication Method: On the Authentication Settings Page, select either 'Local Users' or 'Google Authentication' based on your preference and operational requirements.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): SiteWALL supports two-factor authentication with Google Authenticator, enhancing security for both authentication methods.

• For Local Users:

  • Enable 2FA: Tick the checkbox to enable two-factor authentication for local users.
  • User Experience: Once enabled, all local SiteWALL users will be required to complete a two-step verification process during login. Users will be prompted to scan a QR code using Google Authenticator and enter a six-digit code to access their accounts.

• For Google Authentication:

  • Enable 2FA: Select the option to enable two-factor authentication for users logging in via Google Authentication.
  • User Experience: Similar to local users, those using Google Authentication will need to scan a QR code with Google Authenticator followed by entering a six-digit code to complete the login process.

Final Steps:

• Save Your Settings: After configuring your authentication preferences and enabling two-factor authentication as needed, be sure to click 'Submit' to apply the changes.
• Test the Configuration: It is recommended to test the authentication process to ensure everything is set up correctly.
