New Features in Accops Workspace macOS Client version 7.1.1.1018

Geolocation Support

In the latest Workspace client, administrators can restrict user logins to the HySecure gateway based on geographic location. Allowed login zones can be defined using latitude and longitude coordinates along with a configurable radius. Users will only be able to authenticate if they access the system from within these designated areas. The required GPS location should be stored in Active Directory as a user attribute.

To configure User Attributes for geolocation in Active Directory and HySecure:

  • Each user must have a geolocation attribute set in Active Directory in the format: Latitude|Longitude|Area (for example, 16.886543|74.358756|Nashik).

  • Users can have multiple geolocation entries stored. HySecure will permit login if the device's location corresponds to any one of the allowed geolocations.

  • To map these attributes in HySecure, navigate to Settings > Authentication > Authentication Server, and edit the configured authentication server.

  • In the User Attribute Mapping section, choose the existing user attribute named "LocationDetails" and add a new mapping.

  • In the User Attribute Name field, make sure “LocationDetails” is selected. Then, enter the corresponding Directory Attribute that contains the user's geolocation information and click Submit to save the configuration.

To enable geolocation-based login on the HySecure Gateway:

  • Access the active HySecure Gateway node via SSH.

  • Open the “features.status” file with the command: vi /home/fes/features.status.

  • Enable geolocation login by setting the flag: GEOLOCATIONBASEDLOGIN=1.

  • Next, open the local.conf configuration file using: vi /home/fes/local.conf.

  • Set the allowed login radius (in meters) by defining the flag AllowedRangeInMeters. For example, AllowedRangeInMeters=200.

  • The default radius is 100 meters, allowing users to log in if they are within this distance from the permitted geographic coordinates.

Workspace macOS client

The Workspace macOS client supports two login modes for geolocation-based authentication, which administrators can enable individually or together:

  1. Passwordless (login via QR Code)

  2. Credential login combined with Push Notification as multi-factor authentication (MFA)

When a user logs into the HySecure Gateway through the Workspace macOS client using either Passwordless (QR Code sign-in) or Push Notification with the HyID client mobile app. (Android/iOS), the login will be granted or denied based on whether the location provided by the HyID client matches any of the user's authorized geolocations configured in the system.

This ensures that user access is controlled not only by credentials and MFA but also by the physical location of the device, enhancing security through location-based policies.

Note

This feature is supported only on Workspace macOS Client version 7.1.1.1018 and later requires the HyID (Android/iOS) client App to be updated to version 4.8.0 or above.

Supported Client platforms & Gateway compatibility

This feature is supported on the following types and modes of clients with HySecure Gateway versions 7.1 SP1 & above:

MTU recalculation on network change

In previous versions of the Workspace client, the MTU was calculated and set only during Gateway login, without support for recalculation if the network changed. In the latest Workspace client, MTU is now recalculated automatically whenever a network change is detected.

Supported Client platforms and Gateway compatibility

This new feature is supported in the client modes listed below and is compatible with the HySecure Gateway versions 7.0 & 7.1 and above.

Self-Service Portal

The Workspace macOS client includes a Self-Service Portal feature that allows users to perform tasks like password management, account management and session management.

Session Management from Client:

  • When an administrator configures N simultaneous sessions, and a user is already utilizing all of them, any additional login attempt is rejected by the gateway with a session exhaustion error.

  • In such cases, a Session Self-Service Portal (SSP) link is provided below the login error message, allowing the user to manage or terminate active sessions.

  • The same Session Management link gets displayed on the Workspace macOS Client when a login fails due to session exhaustion.
