SMS Gateway

HySecure and HyID can share passphrases, OTP, and other information through SMS. To achieve this, the gateway must be configured with one or more SMS Gateways, which can be used to send the required notifications, OTP, etc.

An administrator can add, modify, delete, and set default gateways. They can assign SMS gateways to specific users or user groups through Access Control Lists (ACLs) to send One-Time Passwords (OTPs) for user login, mobile token registration, and self-service portal. If no ACL is created, SMS messages will be sent through the default SMS gateway.

The configured SMS Gateways can be tested using the Send test SMS option provided on the SMS Gateway Configuration page.

Important

An API document from the SMS Gateway Service provider should be available to configure the SMS Gateway. The API document is expected to contain details required to configure the HySecure Gateway for the SMS Gateway Integration.

HySecure supports SMS gateway without authentication along with the following Authentication Methods:

Basic authentication: In this authentication method, the username and password are transmitted in the HTTP header to establish authentication with the SMS gateway.

Body authentication: In this authentication method, the username and password are transmitted in the SMS gateway request query to establish authentication with the SMS gateway.

API Access Token-based Authentication: SMS gateway authentication will utilize an access token instead of relying on a username and password. Refer to the additional configurations in the API Access Token configuration.
