Need you input here.

RPA - UiPath

Problem statement – Manage MFA to login to client based applications. (Client application like workday and SharePoint using Client AD authentication to authenticate)

Solution tried and working – We have tried to explore UiPath package and found one – UiPathTeam.TwoStepAuthentication.Activities which is developed by UiPath Team ,which helps to receive MFA-token. There are some setting that needs to be done with MS-authenticator to generate Secret key which is input for the activity.

Questions -

  1. Is this Package develop and support by UiPath Team (officially) ?

  2. Also we just want to know how much is safe for client data and environment ?

  3. what is there in the background that gets triggered ? Is it consuming any third party API to get token or Microsoft API are consumed ?

Kindly Assist.

  1. It is developed by internal ui path members but not supported officially. And currently with windows migration we have to wait for any update to use in windows projects if not already updated

Hi Team, Any details about
Is it consuming any third party API to get token or Microsoft API are consumed ? what is getting called in background ?

Tokens are generated based on time so in theory there are no API calls happening.
If the token generation fails due to time de-sync (your computer clock could be set to an inaccurate time), it seems the activity will try to do a simple http/GET to try and get a timestamp that is reliable, but that’s pretty much it.
TL;DR: if your computer clock is accurate enough (no more than a couple minutes off) there are no external API calls.
