Set LoA Points on Applications

In EmpowerID, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a flexible, points-based system that allows you to specify the number of factors users must present when authenticating and the weight or point value associated with each of those factors. When users reach the designated point threshold, they are granted access to the system. You specify this threshold on the Password Manager policies associated with your users and each Single Sign-On (SSO) application registered in the system. Each application has several MFA settings that can be configured according to your security requirements. Among these settings, those related to Level of Assurance (LoA) points include the following:

For each setting, LoA points start at 0, and you can increase them as needed. When the value exceeds 0, users must accumulate the required points before access is granted.

  1. Min Login LoA if Local – This setting is used to specify the minimum number of points users within your local network must accumulate to authenticate.

  2. Min Login LoA if Remote – This setting is used to specify the minimum number of points users outside of your local network must accumulate to authenticate.
