Push notification configuration

Push notification configuration lets you connect the push delivery services behind your brand's mobile app so Strivacity can deliver push notification multi-factor authentication (MFA) challenges to your customers' enrolled devices.

There are a few reasons to enable push notification MFA for your applications:

• You can extend Strivacity MFA into your own mobile app for a native user experience.
• Your customers get a secure, low-friction alternative to SMS and email one-time passcodes.
• You can reduce your dependence on SMS and email delivery providers.

Strivacity supports two push delivery services:

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM HTTP v1): Google's REST API for sending push notifications and data messages to Android, iOS, and web applications through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
• Apple Push Notification service (APNs): Apple's push messaging service for sending notifications to apps running on Apple devices.

Add a configuration

1. Log in to the Admin Console.
2. Go to Instance configuration in the left-hand menu, then select Push notification configuration.
3. Select Add configuration.
4. Give your configuration a name and, optionally, a description.
5. Choose a push delivery service: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM HTTP v1) or Apple Push Notification service (APNs).

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM HTTP v1)

1. Upload the Service Account JSON File for your Firebase project. You can download this JSON file from your Firebase/Google Cloud project.
2. Optional: If you'd rather not upload the file, you can select Enter credentials manually instead.
3. Select Save.

Apple Push Notification service (APNs)

Apple recommends token-based authentication with a .p8 auth key because these keys don't expire annually the way legacy certificates do.

1. Upload your APNs Auth Key File (.p8).
2. Enter your Key ID (10-character alphanumeric value).
3. Enter your Team ID (10-character alphanumeric value).
4. Enter your App Bundle ID (for example, com.yourcompany.app).
5. Choose the target environment: Development/Sandbox or Production.
6. Select Save.

Next steps

Once a push notification configuration is saved, you can enable the Push MFA method in your Adaptive Access policy. The method stays disabled in your policies until at least one push notification configuration exists.
