Send SMS OTP codes from SafeNet

When a user signs in through SafeNet, 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.

OTP codes never touch a third party

SafeNet’s SMS Settings normally point at a cloud SMS provider. Point them at SMSEagle instead: the request stays on your local network and the code is sent from your own device over the cellular network.

Works in isolated and air-gapped networks

Cloud SMS OTP needs outbound internet access from your authentication server. SMSEagle sends messages on-premises over its own cellular connection, delivering OTP codes even in fully offline installations.

Predictable cost, no vendor dependency

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.

How it works

1

Login attempt

A user authenticates to a SafeNet-protected application and requests a one-time password by SMS.

2

SMS request

SafeNet calls the URL configured in its SMS Settings, which points at the SMSEagle device’s HTTP API.

3

Code delivery

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 up in about 10 minutes

Enter the SMSEagle address in the SafeNet SMS settings, and codes are sent by SMS.

SMSEagle sends SafeNet one-time codes by SMS from your own device, with no cloud SMS provider.

Works on any phone

An SMS code needs no app: people receive it on any mobile phone.

Every code sent is recorded

SMSEagle records every code it sends, together with its status, so you can check whether it was received.

Logins work even if one device fails

Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending codes.

SMSEagle configuration

  1. Create a new user in SMSEagle (menu System > Users) with access level “User”.
  2. Grant API access to the created user:
    • go to Settings > Global settings > API and open the API v1 page
    • click Create API key, fill in Key name and select that user as Owner
    • Add access permissions in section Permissions for: Send SMS, Send to contact, Send to group
    • click Create key. Then, in System > Users, open that user and tick Enable user/password authentication (APIv1 only).
  3. Open Settings > Global settings > Network > SSL, turn off Forward HTTP to HTTPS and click Save changes.

 

SafeNet configuration

Configuration is done within the SMS Settings. Fill in the fields according to the imag:

SMS URL: https://IP.OF.YOUR.SMSEAGLE/index.php/http_api/send_sms
Replace IP.OF.YOUR.SMSEAGLE with IP address of your SMSEagle device
