The form-based authentication of Web Plus may be supplemented with a two-factor authentication scheme in which clients are authenticated based upon “what they know” and “what they have”. The “what they know” part of the scheme is fulfilled by the log in page of Web Plus, as users need to know their User IDs and passwords in order to log into the system. Additionally, you can configure IIS to require clients to have certificates to connect to the Web Plus site. When the Web Plus site is configured this way, the hosting agency will be responsible for creating, and distributing client certificates to users. These client certificates are then installed on users’ computers that they use to connect to the Web Plus site. These client certificates will form the “what they have” part of the two-factor authentication scheme and will provide for stronger authentication.

Multi-factor authentication can optionally be implemented in Web Plus using the Personal Identification Number security feature, which requires that users enter a personal identification number in addition to their user ID and password (click here for more information).
