Administration Web Interface 

The OneSpan Authentication Server Administration Web Interface is a web-based administration tool to manage OneSpan Authentication Server. It allows you to create, delete, and manipulate the data objects used in OneSpan Authentication Server. It can be accessed in a web browser with a OneSpan Authentication Server administrator user ID and password.

Only administrators should have access to the Administration Web Interface.

The Administration Web Interface main page provides quick links to mange the authenticator and user settings, and provides information about the OneSpan Authentication Server status. This information also includes the time, date, and location (i.e. the IP address) of the last successful administrative logon of the user currently logged on.

Authenticator records and user account administration

The Administration Web Interface provides several ways to add, remove, and manage users and their corresponding authenticators. It also allows you to search for user records in a number of ways:

  • Search directly by entering the user ID, user name, email address, or authenticator serial number.
  • Search for the user that a specific authenticator belongs to by searching for the authenticator and selecting the user on the authenticator details screen.
  • Search for users and authenticators using wildcard characters ('*'). A result list will be provided where you can select the user required.
  • Search for authenticators that belong to a user by searching for the user and then selecting the authenticator on the user details screen.
  • Search based on the description field of an authenticator record.

The Administration Web Interface facilitates the following tasks:

  • Import authenticator and user records individually or in bulk
  • Create user records
  • Edit user accounts
  • Reset PIN for an authenticator
  • Assign and unassign authenticators
  • Disable user accounts
  • Delete user accounts
  • Activate and deactivate authenticator applications

  • Unlock authenticators

  • Manage Mobile Authenticator Studio authenticators, including:

    • Generate activation data
    • Send activation data
    • Bind device

Authenticator instances that have been generated from an authenticator license cannot be assigned to or unassigned from the user. For more information about authenticator instances, authenticator licenses, and multi-device licensing and multi-device activation in general, see Authenticator licensing and activation.
