This example uses the following user profiles:

  • End user: Mark Jones is a software developer of Reltic Data, Inc.

Thomas, an administrator of Reltic Data, has identified the Card and TOTP methods for authenticating to the corporate portal. TOTP is generated using the Advanced Authentication Desktop OTP tool. This example uses Google Workspace as the corporate portal.
