3DS Server Admin User Management

Netcetera Identity for Admin UI users

The user management is in your hands so that you can operate more flexible and independently. For this we use our Netcetera Identity Service. To enable this, a representative from your organization is given Admin rights to Netcetera Identity for this organization. This person is empowered to establish users and permissions within the organization. To login to Netcetera Identity, as well as to the Admin UI application, users need to authenticate themselves using 2 factors. With this Netcetera reacts to growing cyber crime by updating security measures constantly.

In a nutshell:

The customer appoints a user (full name and email address) as the Administrator for their organization:

  • Netcetera creates the Admin user and sends email activation link to Netcetera Identity
  • The Admin user can create other users/accounts and provide different access rights/roles to Admin UI application
  • To log into Netcetera Identity, a username and password is needed
  • The second factor is the Futurae app
  • The same login credentials for Netcetera Identity are used for logging into the Admin UI application

What is the second factor?

Futurae Out-Of-Band authentication will be used as second factor for the user's authentication when accessing the Admin UI. Eligible users can download the Futurae Mobile App from apple or play store. More info about Futurae app:

Browser Requirements

Please note that we do no longer support IE11. Admin UI is based on Angular, and the supported browser versions are directly linked to the Angular versions. We regularly update our Angular versions to be up to date with the latest dependencies and minimize any potential risk for vulnerabilities.

The 3DS Server Admin should be run on browsers that support Angular 16. E.g.

  • Chrome - 2 most recent versions. (118, 119 and above)
  • Firefox - latest and extended support release (ESR). (119.0 and above)
  • Edge - 2 most recent major versions. (117, 118 and above)
  • Safari - 2 most recent major versions. (16, 17 and above)
  • iOS - 2 most recent major versions. (iOS 15, iOS 16 and above)
  • Android - 2 most recent major versions. (Android 13, Android 14 and above)

Note: While the application can still run on versions older than those mentioned above, it's important to note that these specified versions represent Angular's stable and tested versions prior to the release of the newest version.
