Configuring Passkeys - On Premise Only

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

ToolHound 6 supports passkeys as an alternative to passwords or SSO. Once a user has added a passkey within the ToolHound browser, they can log in to ToolHound 6 Browser by clicking Sign in with Passkey on the Login page. This does not prevent users from logging in with their password or SSO. Passkeys can be saved in the browser's password manager, on a physical security key, or on a separate iOS or Android device.

For ToolHound On Premise only, the server must be configured to allow passkeys before a user can add their own passkey. For ToolHound Cloud subscribers, this is not necessary.

Only ToolHound installations using a secure server (SSL certificate) or localhost can use passkeys.
Configure the ToolHound server

Edit appsettings.json file in the installation path on the application server.

  1. Add the block as shown below. Replace x values with values for your ToolHound installation. If your organization uses multiple Origins, include a semi-colon between values.

"Fido2": {

"ServerDomain": "xxxxx",

"ServerName": "ToolHound 6",

"Origins": ["http://xxxxxxxxxxx"],

"TimestampDriftToleranceInMs": 300000

}

Note: If this is not the last block in the file, add a comma after the last }.

  1. Restart the ToolHound web site in IIS.
