Super Gluu Documentation#

Super Gluu is a free and secure two-factor authentication (2FA) mobile app.

Super Gluu is tightly bundled with the Gluu Server identity and access management platform, and can be used to achieve 2FA to web and mobile applications that leverage Gluu for authentication.

Super Gluu documentation is organized into the following sections:

U2F Security#

During a Super Gluu authentication the Gluu Server does more than look at the device ID to grant access. Super Gluu uses the Gluu Server's FIDO U2F endpoints to enroll a public key. The private key is stored on the device. When authentication happens, there is a challenge response to ensure that the device has the respective private key.

How to Deploy Super Gluu#

Super Gluu is tightly bundled with the Gluu Server. Follow the Gluu installation guide to deloy Gluu, then follow the Super Gluu admin guide to configure and begin using Super Gluu for strong authentication.

Workflows#

Super Gluu supports multiple workflows, including:

  • A one-step authentication, where the person scans a QR code with their Super Gluu app, and the Gluu Server looks up which person is associated with that device.

  • A two-step authentication, where the person enters their username and then receives an out-of-band push notification to the mobile device to authorize access (a.k.a identifier first authentication).

  • A two-step authentication, where the person enters their username and password and then receives an out-of-band push notification to the mobile device to authorize access.

In all scenarios users are prompted to scan a QR code on their first Super Gluu authentication to bind their device and account. In the second and third workflows listed above, users begin receiving push notifications for all authentications after the initial device registration process.
