How to set up GateKeeper Proximity.

To use 2-factor authentication (2-FA)/multi-factor authentication (MFA) with GateKeeper proximity tokens:

If you have not yet set up your GateKeeper proximity login for your computer, please follow the directions in the knowledge base article:

Please make sure you have your GateKeeper Client software installed on your computer and your token registered (GateKeeper Halberd key fob or GateKeeper Trident phone app) before setting up 2FA.

1. Open your GateKeeper Client application on your PC by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard and start typing "GateKeeper".

   

2.  
3. Click Settings in the lower left corner.
4. Under Unlock Method, select the option "GateKeeper with PIN Login" - all set!

Now you have 2 factor requirement enabled:

Factor 1: GateKeeper Key Fob Token

Something you have.

Factor 2: PIN (Personal Identification Number)

Something you know.

 

Set 2FA for multiple computers through the Hub admin console

All computers in the same Group will be subject to the same configurations for locking, unlocking, and password complexity.

1) Login to your GateKeeper Hub.

2) Click on Group Settings on the left side.

3) Find the Group you would like to make changes to and click "Manage Settings" to the right of the Group's name. If you wish to make your 2FA requirement global for all users on your network, click Organization.

4) Click the UNLOCK SETTINGS tab.
