When a user signs in through NetIQ Advanced Authentication, the one-time code is sent by SMS through SMSEagle, your own hardware SMS gateway. The request stays in your local network, with no cloud SMS provider.
NAAF’s Generic SMS sender normally routes codes through a cloud SMS provider. Point it at SMSEagle instead: the request stays on your local network and the code is sent from your own device over the cellular network.
Cloud SMS OTP needs outbound internet access from your authentication infrastructure. SMSEagle sends messages on-premises over its own cellular connection, delivering OTP codes even in fully offline installations.
Cloud SMS OTP is billed per message, often at premium authentication rates. SMSEagle sends over a standard SIM at local carrier rates – no per-message fees, no external contract.
A user authenticates against a NAAF-protected application and requests an SMS one-time password.
NAAF’s Generic SMS sender calls SMSEagle’s API directly with the phone number and message.
SMSEagle delivers the code over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS to the user’s own phone.
Set the service URL and request parameters in the NetIQ Generic SMS sender, and codes are sent by SMS.
An SMS code needs no app: people receive it on any mobile phone.
SMSEagle records every code it sends, together with its status, so you can check whether it was received.
Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending codes.
Create a new user in SMSEagle with API methods enabled.
1. In the NAAF web interface, open Policies -> SMS Service Provider Settings
2. In the SMS Sender section
(where url-of-smseagle is actual SMSEagle IP address)
3. In the HTTP request body add following parameters:
| Parameter name | Parameter value |
| access_token | your API token for SMSEagle |
| to | {phone} |
| message | {message} |
3. Save your settings
