When a user signs in with a VASCO IDENTIKEY on-demand code, the code is sent by SMS through SMSEagle, your own hardware SMS gateway. The request stays in your local network, with no cloud SMS provider.
IDENTIKEY’s MDC module normally hands SMS delivery to a cloud provider. Point it at SMSEagle instead: the tokencode request stays on your local network and the code is sent from your own device over the cellular network.
Cloud SMS delivery needs outbound internet access from your authentication server. SMSEagle sends messages on-premises over its own cellular connection, delivering on-demand tokencodes 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 to an agent with their username and on-demand PIN through IDENTIKEY.
IDENTIKEY’s MDC module sends the on-demand tokencode and mobile number to SMSEagle over HTTP.
SMSEagle delivers the code over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS to the user’s own phone.
Enable SMS delivery in the IDENTIKEY MDC settings and enter 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.
