When a user signs in to an application protected by Okta, the one-time code is sent by SMS through SMSEagle, your own hardware SMS gateway, with no cloud SMS provider in between.
A one-time password is a security credential. Sending it through a cloud SMS provider means your codes pass through an external platform on every login. SMSEagle removes that intermediary: Okta passes the code to your own device, which sends it over the cellular network.
On devices with two SIM cards from different operators, SMSEagle switches to the second one when the first operator’s network is down.
Cloud SMS OTP is billed per message, often at premium rates for authentication traffic. SMSEagle sends over a standard SIM at local carrier rates – no per-message fees, no external contract, no cloud provider that can raise prices or go down.
A user signs in to an Okta-protected application and passes the first factor (password).
Okta generates a one-time code and sends it to the SMSEagle device’s APIv2 endpoint through a Telephony Inline Hook.
SMSEagle delivers the code over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS to the user’s own phone.
Add a Telephony Inline Hook in Okta with the SMSEagle address, 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.
SMSEagle is a hardware & software solution that guarantees a swift delivery of your messages to designated recipients, whether it’s for notifications, alerts, or important updates.
After registering to a demo you get a remote access to our physical device NXS-9750.
