TSplus has recently released a major update. The changes focus on enhancing security features and bringing new options that enable safe and reliable Remote Access. The following article reviews TSplus 12.30 new features.
TSplus is proud to announce a new layer of security for Web Portal users. The Two Factor Authentication security option for Web Portal can now be used with SMS.
How does TSplus 2FA work?
Splus Two Factor Authentication was introduced with Version 12 as an additional way to secure access to the Web Application Portal. TSplus already provides a wide range of security tools to keep remote connections safe. From built-in Https Web Server to free SSL certificates and personal Web Credentials, servers and users are protected.
However, as cyber-attacks techniques get more sophisticated, powerful security tools are necessary to fight them. Relying on passwords and user names can put organizations at risk having their data stolen and their business collapsing.
TSplus 2FA for Mobile Web and Enterprise editions offers an extra-layer of security. It requests a two-steps verification process to open a session on the web portal. In addition to their credentials, users will need to enter a unique and temporary code generated on a separate device (such as a smartphone) to log-in. This prevents malicious people from accessing the user sessions with a stolen password.
The existing method requires the installation of an authenticator app (ex: Google or Microsoft Authenticator, Authy…) on the user’s device. The user then scans the QR code displayed on the Web Portal at the first connection to authenticate the device. The App is then able to generate a new code at each connection, even when the device is offline.
TSplus 12.30 integrates a second method to use the 2FA feature: the verification code can now be sent by SMS.
In the AdminTool, the Administrator has access to a complete dashboard for 2FA, where he can easily configure users, select the verification method of his choice (per user), manage SMS settings and test the feature directly. 50 SMS are provided with the 30 day trial (10 users). The Administrator can also choose to allow both methods. In this case, the user will have the choice at the first connection to select his favorite option for verification.
The full process for configuring the TSplus Two Factor Authentication feature is described in detail in the online User Guide. It is simple, flexible and powerful!
TSplus latest improvements ensure high compatibility with Windows 10 1903 „May 2019 Update” for Pro, Education and Enterprise editions. Details of these changes and others fixes included in version 12.30 can be checked on the change-log: https://dl-files.com/TSplus-changelog.html.
