To be able to log on to the terminal server infrastructure of ADAM, a second factor is required. In addition to a hardware token, a time-based one-time password (TOTP) can also be used for this purpose. With the help of an authenticator app, the TOTP method can be set up independently.

Information about the authenticator app

• To set up MFA, you need to install an authenticator app.
• Generally, different authenticator apps can be used. Our recommendation is to use a separate device if possible (e.g. work cell phone).
• If this is not possible, you can alternatively install the 2fast program on your client system.

Self-registration of the TOTP Method

The first step is to establish a connection between the MFA appliance and the authenticator app.

Step 1
Login to the self-service of the MFA Appliance.

• Username: ADAM\SAMAccountName
• Password: ADAM-ADMIN-PASSWORT

If necessary, you can change the password for your ADAM admin account in the Web-Frontend Adm.

Step 2
After logging in, you can see which authentication methods are already configured and which can still be added. Select TOTP.

Step 3
On the TOTP method page, a QR code is displayed at the bottom of the page. Scan it with your authenticator app.

The configuration is now complete.

Installation and Configuration of 2fast

If no separate device can be used, it is possible to install 2fast for Windows directly via the Microsoft Store.

Step 1
In the 2fast program, a new database file must be created first. For this password-secured file, a name, path and password must be defined.

Step 2
Once the creation of the database file has been completed, the next step is to add an account.

Step 3
Then, using the Select key QR code function, the account must be added. Next, the QR code must be selected from the appliance's self-service.

Step 4
The secret key is automatically filled in and a label and account name can also be assigned.

Step 5
Confirm with Create account.

After successful creation of the account, the TOTP method can be used when logging in to the terminal server infrastructure. The one-time code is updated in an interval of 30 seconds.
