Setup information

Collecting the following information before you start will help to speed up your installation:

  • An unused IP address in your network
  • The default gateway setting in your network
  • The DNS server IP address(es) for your network
  • The DNS suffix(es) (optional)
  • Proxy server settings (optional)
  • OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance maintenance reference (for a commercial license only)
  • OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance serial number (for a commercial license only)
  • An appropriate network cable, no longer than 3.0 meter in length

Open source software

Open source software

OneSpan uses various open source software included in OneSpan Authentication Server and its components.

The list of the open source software used and the respective license texts can be found on the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance device or its respective components.

Parts of the open source software is licensed under the General Public License (GPL). Upon customer’s request OneSpan can provide source codes with our adaptations to the respective software on DVD for a small fee for the medium. These source codes can be freely copied, extended, modified, and redistributed without any restrictions from OneSpan or our end-user license agreement.

Multi-Device Licensing and Multi-Device Activation Limitations

OneSpan Authentication Server supports multi-device licensing (MDL) and multi-device activation (MDA). This licensing and activation model applies to the following authenticators:

  • E-signature authenticators: Digipass 760
  • Software authenticators: Mobile Authenticator Studio and Mobile Security Suite

Certain multi-device licensing/multi-device activation functionalities and the Secure Channel feature are aimed at the banking security market only. Some of these functionalities will therefore not be available for typical enterprise security deployments.

The multi-device licensing/multi-device activation with the Secure Channel feature requires a SOAP provisioning and/or SOAP signature license!

With the multi-device licensing model and its one-to-one relationship between a user account and an authenticator serial number license, a user account can optionally be bound to several authenticator instances. The multi-device activation process is an activation process in two steps that guarantees that only the intended end user can perform the device activation.
