SetTechSecondFactor tech value

TOTP: SetTechSecondFactor tech value Option 1: Manually Set TOTP in the TechIDClient UI

1	Open the TechIDClient
2	Find the account you want to assign a TOTP secret to
3	Click the Edit TOTP button
4	A dialog box will appear
5	Scan the QR code from your TOTP provider (e.g., Duo, Rublon, Evo) using this dialog
6	The TOTP secret will be stored and associated with the account

Option 2: Set TOTP Automatically via Command Line If you’re managing TOTP centrally (e.g., scripting or automation):

1

Use the following command on the machine (domain controller or endpoint) where the TechIDManager account is created or maintained:

TechIDAgent.exe SetSecondFactor "TechnicianName" "TOTPSecretValue"

1. 1. • TechnicianName: The name of the technician account.
      • TOTPSecretValue: The TOTP secret (from your TOTP provider).

2

This command works for both Windows and Mac environments and supports domains and local Windows computers. It needs to be run as admin from the machine running the agent.

Automating with a Provider Like Duo (Example Workflow)

1	Set up automation to monitor new or unmanaged TechIDManager accounts
2	When your script detects a new tech account without a TOTP/MFA assignment:
	2.1	Use Duo’s API (or your TOTP provider’s API) to provision a new MFA record
	2.2	Retrieve the TOTP secret generated by Duo/TOTP provider
	2.3	Use the command line method (SetSecondFactor) to assign it to the TechIDManager account
3	The TOTP info will now appear in TechIDClient alongside that technician’s credentials
