Multi-factor authentication is a two-step verification process where users are required to authenticate themselves a second time using a time-based verification code. As compared to the single step authentication process, multi-factor authentication provides enhanced security.
Previously, suppliers attempting to sign in to SAP Ariba Developer Portal using the AN Supplier SSO Sign-in option were re-directed to the Ariba Network supplier sign-in page for authentication. However, it was just a one-step verification process.
With multi-factor authentication enabled, users are required to perform the two-step verification process to log into SAP Ariba Developer Portal.
Until recently Ariba Network did not provide a feature for multi-factor authentication, which would significantly improve login security when compared to existing user ID/password authentication. There was no verification mechanism to ensure that the individual logging in was indeed the account holder vs. a nefarious entity that had obtained a user’s credentials. Ariba Network customers were requesting that the applications provide a multi-factor mechanism for authentication that would be comparable to existing functionality that is provided by banking institutions.
The impact of the feature is that it will improve the security at login by forcing the logging-in user to enter in a digital token, from the authenticator app, associated to the user account. This will prevent unauthorized use of the associated account should a user’s login credentials become compromised. Enabling this functionality will significantly decrease the likelihood that a nefarious entity can successfully gain access to the SAP Ariba applications using compromised user account credentials.

为组织启用多因素身份验证后,用户必须在其手持设备中安装身份验证应用程序,例如 iTunes(针对 iOS 设备)或 Google Play(针对 Android 设备)中的 SAP Authenticator,以生成基于时间的验证码(也称为基于时间的一次性密码)。基于时间的验证码设置还与第三方验证器(如 Google Authenticator 或 Microsoft Authenticator)兼容。
