Welcome to your Demo Hub
You should have already received your email
with your AuthControl Sentry® credentials,
consisting of your username and PIN.
Follow the steps below to start using the demo
platform within the Unified Portal.
Step One
The Unified Portal.
The first thing to do is to visit our Unified Portal. This is where you will be able to test the different authentication methods against some popular access technologies and applications. Our general term for these is “applications”.
As an example for these step-by-step instructions we will be choosing the F5 Networks application.
Step Two
Choose your application.
Choose the application you wish to test from the portal and click on the logo. You will be directed to the specific application to start your authentication.
Please Note: For each application you only require your username (see your email with your credentials) at the first screen. Some applications have a password field. Please ignore this at this time. This demonstration works with just your username and your OTC.
In the real world your username, password AND the OTC can be used for added security.
Step Three
Automatically redirected back to the Unified Portal
Enter your username and click logon – you will be directed back to the Unified Portal to continue the authentication for your chosen application using AuthControl Sentry®.
Step Four
Submit your username
Enter your username and click “submit”
The default Authentication Method is PINpad®.
Step Five
Choose your authentication factor
Choose which authentication method you would like to use from the available methods in the drop-down list.
Further information regarding the steps of each authentication method is listed below.
Select which authentication method you are using and further details will be provided, to assist you in authenticating access to your chosen application.
The Authentication Factors
Using the numbers from your PIN, click the corresponding numbers within the displayed PINpad®. It is just like using an ATM.
AuthControl Sentry® automatically works out your OTC for you. The numbers will appear in a different place each time you authenticate.
Using the numbers from your PIN, on the top row of numbers, find the letter on the bottom row of the TURing image displayed that matches the numbers in your PIN. This is the OTC you should enter in the OTC field followed by clicking “Login”.
Using this TURing image below as an example – if your PIN was 720645 the corresponding OTC would be XHGNYD.
If you are unsure how to use the Image Authenticators PINpad® or TURing, please look at Image Authenticators for information.

- Click “Yes” to accept the authentication request.
We have added two different MFA “Custom chains” to the Unified Portal:
– One performing (3F) three factor
– One performing (4F) four factor
One option for users who don’t want to provision their mobiles to get the mobile app (TURing, PINpad & SMS) and another for those that have provisioned so get a wider set of authentication factors (TURing, AUTHControl Mobile – OTC, SMS, AuthControl Mobile – PUSH).
Click the link below to see the video on creating a custom MFA chain.
