Guides

You've got your basic company details setup, now it's time to add some extra layers of security. By navigating to the Hudu Admin Security tab, you'll be able to configure the following:

 

  • 2FA
    • By clicking configure on the 2FA option, you can set up app-based 2FA.
    • App-based 2FA must first be set up by a super-admin before it can be enabled for all users.
    • To learn more about app-based 2FA setup, our supported providers, and enforcing 2FA on all users; visit our MFA: App-based 2FA article.
      • Additionally, you can set up Duo 2FA. When Duo 2FA is enabled, all non-portal users will see the Duo prompt, instead of the normal 2FA. 
      • Visit our article on Setting Up Duo Authentication for more information.
  • SAML/SSO
    • Click configure next to SAML/SSO to enable Single Sign-On using a provider of your choice.
    • Visit Understanding SAML/SSO for more information. Links to the support guides for different providers are also available here.
  • IP Access Control

      • These rules do not apply to publicly shared pages, the REST API and Hudu external apps.

    • Choose the timeout default for all users across your environment from fifteen minutes up to one week.
