How 2X Digi-Access™ Improves User Security

Understanding what a 2X Digi-Access™ certificate is used for

The 2X Digi-Access™ certificate offers what is called 'two factor authentication'. In the standard version of the 2X Application Server, you login with a username and password. The username and password is 'something you know' and this is single factor authentication.

In the Digi-Access™ version of the 2X Application Server, in addition to a username and password, to login you must also have a Digi-Access™ certificate. The Digi-Access™ certificate is 'something you have' and this adds a second layer of security known as two factor authentication.

Getting a 2X Digi-Access™ certificate takes three simple steps [1]. The most important of these is the very first step.

The Importance of the Enrolment Form

In the first step, users are directed to the 2X Digi-Access™ enrolment page where they must complete a simple online web form [2].





This web form has a help button opposite every field that offers assistance and advice so that users correctly complete each field on the form.

Important:- Users must complete this form accurately with their correct personal information. Failure to complete this form correctly, may mean that the Digi-Access™ certificate is not correctly configured and the user may also have to repeat the process.
