Duo Push Notification
Using mobile push notifications is becoming the new trendy way to validate the second factor of a 2FA authentication process. Duo is offering an API to integrate this kind validation and Authelia leverages this mechanism so that you can simply push a button on your smartphone to be securely granted access to your services.
In order to use this feature, you should first create a free account on Duo (up to 10 users), create a user account and attach it a mobile device. The name of the user must match the name of the user in your internal database. Then, click on Applications and Protect an Application. Then select the option called Partner Auth API. This will generate an integration key, a secret key and a hostname. You can set the name of the application to Authelia and then you must add the generated information to your configuration as:
duo_api:
hostname: api-123456789.example.com
integration_key: ABCDEF
secret_key: 1234567890abcdefghifjkl
This can be seen in config.template.yml file.
When selecting Duo Push Notification at the second factor stage, you will automatically receive a push notification on your phone to grant or deny access.
Limitations
Users must be enrolled via the Duo Admin panel, they cannot enroll a device from Authelia yet.
