Error message

status_code=403, message={"error":{"status":"access_denied","message":"User is not multi-factor authenticated. Missing Client Authentication Certificate. As per compliance rules, user needs to be authenticated using multi-factor for performing generate operation."}}, nested_error=<nil>

Problem

When attempting to run a threat detection scan, you may receive this error because Two factor authentication is required to perform this action. This error means that your API key (first factor of authentication) and host URL are correct, however SMCTL was unable to authenticate your client certificate (second factor of authentication). Implying that the path to your client authentication certificate path or password is incorrect.

status_code=403, message={"error":{"status":"access_denied","message":"User is not multi-factor authenticated. Missing Client Authentication Certificate. As per compliance rules, user needs to be authenticated using multi-factor for performing <action> operation."}}, nested_error=<nil>

Solution

Ensure that the client authentication certificate path and password is correct. One of the follow methods may be useful:

  • Navigate to the client authentication certificate path listed in the healthcheck command output and confirm if the file name provided and path matches.

  • Compare the your client authentication certificate password listed in the healthcheck command output to your password to confirm that it is correct.

    Anmerkung

    If you have lost or forgotten your password, create a new client authentication certificate and securely store your password.
