ICM supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Adobe Sign customers at the Agreement level to ensure that select Agreements (such as high value and highly confidential Agreements) are only accessible to relevant users, as compared to only providing access based on the Name and Email address validation that was the case earlier.
The MFA authentication is configured by enabling the multi-factor flag. This results in ICM sending the signatory’s phone number to Adobe Sign for processing the e-signature authentication of the user for that Agreement. If the phone number for the signatory is not available, a message is displayed indicating that the phone number is mandatory and one or more of the signatory’s phone number is missing.
Note: When both – the password and the phone authentication are enabled for an Agreement, then the password authentication takes precedence.
To enable multi-factor authentication for an Adobe Sign customer:
1. Click theUser Administration tile.
2. Click the Users tile.
3. Click the Create User/Provision User (based on the user authorization to the instance) tile to open the Create User page.
4. On theDetails tab, enter the personal details of the user. The First Name, Last Name, Email Address, etc are mandatory fields.
5. In the Phone Number field, add the phone number of the user if you want to activate the authentication for the user.
6. Check the Consent Acknowledgment checkbox below By adding phone number,I confirm capturing user consent to receive important text messages from ICM to validate the user consent.
Note: This is not a mandatory field. However, it becomes mandatory to provide a phone number when the consent box is checked and vice-versa.
The phone number format needs to be in the Country Code-Phone Number. For example, 1-555-555-5555.
7. Enter the remaining details of the page as required and click the Create button. This opens the Users page enlisting the user that you created in the list.
Multi-factor authentication is validated using the phone number when:
When the Agreement is sent for external signature and when the two step authentication is configured, the external signatory receives authentication messages in two ways:
You can send Agreements for parallel signatures across internal and external signatories, instead of sequentially based on step numbers, when using Adobe Sign. This can be configured in Rules for signatories allowing ICM users to send the Agreement to either multiple external or internal signatories so that each of them can sign in parallel.
Let’s consider an example of 2 Internal signatories A and B and both are required to sign the Agreement in parallel; then the configurator configures the Approval Rule for internal signatories A and B with the same Step number but different Signatory order.
