- [Instructor] Let's explore the various configurations,
and settings in MFA server starting with account lockout.
It is here that we can temporally lock accounts if
there are too many authentication attempts in a row.
Keep in mind this is only applicable
to users who enter a pin to authenticate.
Next, we can block or unblock users.
We would block users when they can not receive MFA requests.
For example, if they have lost their phone.
Simply add the user,
and a reason.
Caching rules can be configured,
so that consecutive authentication attempts
do not require two-step verification,
and this only applies to the MFA server deployment model.
Next on our list is fraud alert.
It's here that we can allow our users
to submit fraud alerts.
For example, if a user receives a request
to authenticate using MFA,
but they didn't ask for the multi-factor authentication.
When we allow our users to submit fraud alerts
they will automatically be blocked,
protecting any possible attempts to access our resources.
You can turn that off if you wish.
If a user uses phone verification for MFA,
they would normally press the number symbol
to confirm their sign in.
If they need to report a fraud, the user would then need
to enter a code before pressing the number symbol
or pound key.
By default the zero is the number you can customize.
I would recommend that you become familiar with this
as fraud alerts are part of the exam.
Next, we have the one time bypass.
This feature allows our users to authenticate once
without having performed the two-step authentication.
This is a temporary solution.
Typically you would choose this if the user
can not receive a notification or phone call,
and just like the fraud alert this is an exam objective.
Next, we have phone call settings.
It is here that we can customize the greeting,
and configure other phone settings.
Service settings is where you
can find the MFA server download,
and finally you can view the activity report,
or server status,
and that's your very high level overview
of MFA server settings.
