IT – Broker Services – REMINDER: Onboarding period to Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for TRACK is about to end (11/17)

This IT-Notice is a reminder to previous IT-Notices IT 68/16 and IT 01/17 regarding the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Nasdaq Trade Reporting Web, TRACK. This will impact all Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Commodities members using TRACK for their Regulatory Reports such as EMIR and REMIT. Information in this IT-Notice is directed to IT staff, administrators of the TRACK application as well as the end users.

Implementation timeline

As previously communicated, Nasdaq is in a process of implementing a 2FA solution in order to streamline the login procedure to all our web-based applications. The 2FA solution chosen can be used on smartphones, tablets and/or computers. Once 2FA implementation is completed, users will be authenticated with username, password and a one-time passcode generated by the SafeNet MobilePASS app/software.

The ongoing enrollment period of 2FA for TRACK is now heading towards its end: Last day for onboarding will be on March 10^th, 2017.

If your company has TRACK users that have not enrolled to 2FA yet, you are urged to take action immediately.

 

Enrollment

During the onboarding period, users are requested to enroll as part of the standard login procedure to TRACK. Until March 10^th, 2017, the enrollment to 2FA can be postponed at a maximum of ten times using the old authentication method (username & password).

As of March 13^th, 2017, it will only be possible to login to TRACK using the 2FA!

Important

Before the enrollment of 2FA, all device(s) to be used for creation of one-time passcodes should be prepared for the MobilePASS app/software and token installation. For easy and trouble-free usage we recommend the use of smartphones, but local software installations are also possible:

• Smartphones/Tablets – Download the app SafeNet MobilePASS from your Apple App Store, Blackberry AppWorld or the Android Play Store
• Desktop computers – Download the applicable SafeNet MobilePASS from SafeNet´s webpage. There are two versions available: One version for installation and another for download and execution directly (portable USB flash memory)

NOTE:  Please consult with your IT-department for your internal IT-policy prior to installation!

The initial installation of MobilePASS app/software requires local administrative privileges. If the end user is not allowed to install the app/software, please make it available on the verified platform. After the installation has been completed, the usage of the app/software does not require administrative privileges
 

The 2FA enrollment process is described as a whole in IT 01/17 or in “2FA User Guide for TRACK” which is available on our website.
