OneSpan Authentication Server discovery

Server discovery allows Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon clients to find instances of OneSpan Authentication Server by querying a DNS server.

If your organization is impacted by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), note that for being GDPR-compliant, Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon requires the Verify server SSL certificate box to be checked in the Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon Configuration Center.

For more information about GDPR, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server General Data Protection Regulation Compliance Guide.

Server discovery requires the following:

• The Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon client must have server discovery enabled. For more information, refer to the Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon User Guide.
• An SRV record for the OneSpan Authentication Server instance(s) must exist on the DNS server to be queried (see Registering OneSpan Authentication Server with DNS servers).
• Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon must be enabled both in the OneSpan Authentication Server license key and the authentication scenario. For more information, see Licensing.

Registering OneSpan Authentication Server with DNS servers

An SRV record may be created on the DNS server using the DNS registration option in the OneSpan Authentication Server configuration stage (i.e. after installation). For more information, see Configuring OneSpan Authentication Server for Active Directory back-end authentication via LDAP.

If OneSpan Authentication Server will be available to client machines in other trusted Active Directory domains, an SRV record must be manually created on the DNS server(s) that service(s) the client domain .
