Set up Keycloak Two-Factor Authentication
In addition to the classic credential-based log in, Belden Horizon Data Manager provides two-factor authentication and profile management using the Keycloak profile application.
For additional security, you can configure two-factor authentication (TFA) with a free authenticator application like Google Authentication.
Two-factor authentication exceeds standard security practices by requiring more than a username and password for login access. The authenticator software generates a token that expires within 60 seconds. This token provides the additional layer of authentication required for login.
Before You Begin
You must modify your user account and optionally change your user account password using the Keycloak profile application.
To configure two-factor authentication:
1. From the Keycloak profile application's left pane, click Authenticator. The Authenticator dialog box appears.
2. Download and install an authenticator application on your smart phone from the Google Play or Apple App store.
Authenticator Applications: FreeOTP, Google Authenticator
Note: These applications do not require internet access to generate a one-time code.
3. Open the authentication application on your smart phone.
4. Scan the barcode (or enter the key) displayed on the Authenticator dialog box.
If you cannot scan the barcode, do the following: a. Click the Unable to scan link. The Authenticator dialog box changes to include a random-number code. b. Copy the random-number code shown in the Authenticator dialog box to your clipboard, and then paste it into the One-time code field.
5. Click Save to complete the authentication configuration. Once you configure the authenticator, you will see a confirmation message.
Note:
- Once you set up two-factor authentication, you must use the authenticator application to access your account after entering your username and password.
- After you enter the username and password, the login directs you to a screen to enter the 6-digit one-time code generated by the application on your smart phone.
Remove Keycloak Two-Factor Authentication

To remove two-factor authentication:
1. From the Keycloak profile application's left pane, click Authenticator. The Authenticator dialog box appears.
