Rublon User Guide is meant for users who want to learn more about Rublon. If you are an administrator looking for deployment instructions, refer to our Documentation.

Overview

Append Mode allows you to append the name of the authentication method you wish to use during 2FA to your password. 

Your administrator can enable Append Mode for all applications that use Rublon Authentication Proxy to integrate with Rublon. Contact your administrator to inquire whether Append Mode can be enabled when logging in to your application.

If Append Mode is enabled for the application of your choice, ask your administrator for the separator. By default the separator is set to “,” (comma).

The following values can be appended to your password after the separator:

  • “push” – use Mobile Push as the second factor in Rublon MFA
  • “email” – use Email Link as the second factor in Rublon MFA
  • “smsLink” – use SMS Link as the second factor in Rublon MFA
  • “phoneCall” – use Phone Call as the second factor in Rublon MFA
  • “123456” – use Mobile Passcode as the second factor in Rublon MFA; this value is the actual Mobile Passcode generated by Rublon Authenticator or a third-party app like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator; must be exactly 6 characters long with no spaces in between
  • “123456789” – use Bypass Code you received from your administrator; must be exactly 9 characters long with no spaces in between
  • “<YubiKey OTP code>” – insert the YubiKey and press the button on the key; the OTP will be typed automatically and then Enter will be pressed

Note

Note that Append Mode is case-sensitive. Values like “Push”, “EMAIL”, “pUsH” do not work.

Examples

Let’s assume that your password is ILoveRublon123 and your administrator did not change the default value of the separator, so it’s a “,” (comma).

Then:

If you would like to choose Mobile Push as the authentication method, type:

ILoveRublon123,push

If you would like to choose Email Link as the authentication method, type:

ILoveRublon123,email

If you would like to choose SMS Link as the authentication method, type:

ILoveRublon123,smsLink

If you would like to choose Phone Call as the authentication method, type:

ILoveRublon123,phoneCall

If you would like to choose Mobile Passcode as the authentication method, type:

ILoveRublon123,123456

Where 123456 is the TOTP code from Rublon Authenticator.

You can also append the 9-digit Bypass Code if you received one from your administrator.
