Extranet Two Factor Authentication

rmueller — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

We have been trying to figure out a simple mechanism to provide two factor authentication to our Extranet Access Point. Our configuration uses an inside SBE server, AD authentication and the Extranet Server Access Point (in a DMZ) to serve applications. Our applications all use section access security to limit data for a particular user authenticated against AD.

Ideally, what we would like is for a user to login to the Extranet Server Access Point using their AD credentials. Once they have been authenticated, we would like to present a secondary challenge before launching the application. An alternative, would be once the user has been authenticated; they would be presented with a secondary challenge within the application before any objects would be accessible (other than the challenging object).

What are the preferred mechanism for two factor authentication with the SBE/Extranet combination. Is there any documentation, or examples?

Hi,

To start you are violating your license if you are trying to allow external Users to access your system and you have purchased an SBE license. You need to move to a EE license to do that.

Thanks Bill, but you are dead wrong and apparently didn't read or even understand the post. I own both a SBE and and Extranet license.

Hi Ron,

You are correct, I did miss read your post. The only other thing you can do is to user UserID's in section access to make this work. That way they have to input an username and password.
