Configuring Multi-Factor authentication (MFA)

Before configuring the Lens Portal, we need to create a Duo application. This will provide us with the API credentials we need to connect via the Lens Portal.

  1. Log in to the Duo administrator dashboard

  2. In the left-side menu select Applications

  5. Make a note of the following details

    1. Client ID

    2. Client secret

    3. API hostname

  6. Scroll down to the Settings section. In the Name field enter something like Lens Portal. This can be anything, however, it is recommended to have something that is descriptive so the application is not modified by accident in future.

  7. Depending on your authentication provider (AD, SAML etc) you may want to enable the Simple option in the Username normalization field.
