Exemptions

There are only three some exemptions to having to perform MFA in order to log in to Mediaflux: shared links, Data Mover shareables, and secure identity tokens.

Shared links can be created in Mediaflux Explorer in order to share a location with an unauthenticated user. See Direct Shareable Links for more information.

Data Mover

Data Mover allows you to share data with others. These users are not required to log in to access the data you have shared and so will not be required to use MFA.

Secure identity tokens

Secure identity tokens can be used to authenticate with the Mediaflux Unimelb Command-Line Clients, sFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and Network Share (SMB Protocol).

If you need to automate uploads in an unattended fashion from a server or instrument PC, you may apply for a secure identity token. The advantages of this approach are:

  • Uploads will not require an MFA push notification to be actioned

  • Your university credentials do not need to be stored on the source machine

  • If a token is compromised, this will not compromise your university credentials

See the unimelb-mf-upload page for more information.

Long-Lived SMB Mounts

This is a new feature. For SMB mounts on servers, expected to operate unattended for long periods of time.

  • MFA push notifications will not be sent when mounting the SMB share

  • Your university credentials do not need to be stored on the source machine

  • If a token is compromised, this will not compromise your university credentials

See Secure identity tokens for more information or to apply for a token.
