Authenticate2FA

Category: Authentication Permissions: Public Call Type: Synchronous

Request

{
  "Code": "YourCode"
}

Completes the second part of a two-factor authentication by sending the authentication token from the non-AlphaPoint authentication system to the Order Management System. The call returns a verification that the user logging in has been authenticated, and a token.

Here is how the two-factor authentication process works:

1. Call webauthenticateuser. The response includes values for TwoFAType and TwoFAToken. For example, TwoFAType may return "Google," and the TwoFAToken then returns a Google-appropriate token (which in this case would be a QR code).

2. Enter the TwoFAToken into the two-factor authentication program, for example, Google Authenticator. The authentication program returns a different token.

3. Call authenticate2FA with the token you received from the two-factor authentication program (shown as YourCode in the Request example below).

Key	Value
Code	string. Code holds the token obtained from the other authentication source.

Response

{
  "Authenticated": true,
  "SessionToken": "YourSessionToken"
}

Key	Value
Authenticated	Boolean. A successful authentication returns true. Unsuccessful returns false.
SessionToken	string. The SessionToken is valid during the current session for connections from the same IP address. If the connection is interrupted during the session, you can sign back in using the SessionToken instead of repeating the full two-factor authentication process. A session lasts one hour after the last-detected activity or until logout.

To send a session token to re-establish an interrupted session:

{
  "SessionToken": "YourSessionToken"
}
