3DS Server Admin User Management

Introducing Netcetera Auth for Admin UI users

With the migration of our Netcetera 3DS Server SaaS to the new cloud platform, user Management is in your hands so that you can operate more flexible and independently. For this we use our Netcetera Auth Service. To enable this, a representative from your organization is given Admin rights to Netcetera Auth for this organization. This person is empowered to establish users and permissions within the organization. To login to Netcetera Auth, 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 Auth
  • The Admin user can create other users/accounts and provide different access rights/roles to Admin UI application
  • To log into Netcetera Auth, a username and password is needed
  • The second factor is the Futurae app
  • The same login credentials for Netcetera Auth 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 13. E.g.

  • Chrome - latest version
  • Firefox - latest and extended support release (ESR)
  • Edge - 2 most recent major versions
  • Safari - 2 most recent major versions
  • iOS - 2 most recent major versions
  • Android - 2 most recent major versions
