Online Mode

In the online scenario, the user’s Desktop/laptop is connected to the internet and can reach Okta cloud.

Online authentication can be performed in 2 ways:

  2. Support for following Okta factors:
  • Okta verify
  • SMS
  • Voice
  • Custom TOTP
  • Google Authenticator
  • Yubikey
  • RSA SecureID

Offline Scenario

In the offline scenario, the user’s Desktop/laptop is not connected to the internet and cannot reach Okta cloud.

In this scenario, TecTANGO will perform the primary and secondary authentication. For secondary authentication, there are below options:

  • PIN: The PIN which is set in online mode can be used in offline as well
  • TOTP: Okta Verify app is leveraged. The OTP generated by the Okta Verify App will have to be entered during the 2 Factor prompt. The user will have to scan a QR code using the Okta Verify app on first login to complete the enrollment process for offline 2 Factor authentication.
  • U2F (Universal 2nd Factor): Security keys like Yubikey is used in U2F mode
