You can add a web authenticator—either a Platform authenticator or a Roaming authenticator, or both—to your CommCell account. After you add the web authenticator to your CommCell account, by default, the Commvault software uses the authenticator as the second step for two-factor authentication.
The next time you log on to the Command Center or the Web Console, the Commvault software prompts you to connect the authenticator to the USB port on your computer.
Before You Begin
-
Enable two-factor authentication at the CommCell level.
Optionally, enable passwordless login or both usernameless and passwordless login.
-
Connect the authenticator to the USB port on your computer. If you do not have an authenticator, contact your Commvault administrator or IT help desk.
