Support PIV/CAC logins through CAD Integrator

Federal government entities, along with many commercial businesses, have moved to physical multi-factor authentication (aka phishing-resistant MFA) using PIV/CAC or token-based credentials. Due to the outdated minimized version of Internet Explorer that is embedded in TRIRIGA CAD Integrator, pop-ups are completely disallowed. The lack of pop-ups blocks user authentication by these stronger MFA methods during login routines, because the user is prohibited from identifying specific certificates or entering an associated PIN. The request is to enhance the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator product to fully support PIV/CAC (or other phishing-resistant MFA) for logins.

    Chris,

    Thanks for your additional feedback. I will look into some of these questions. On point of clarification that the embedded browser either IE or Edge isn't something we would distribute with CI it is embedded by the operating system inside the Autodesk client, so the change I was proposing would use the edge that was already installed.

    Hi Josh,


    Moving from IE to Edge is a great step in the right direction, since the use of IE is already constrained and will become more constrained in the next few months.

    You asked if switching to Edge would enable me to turn off the restriction for pop-ups. I am unsure how I could control that restriction in an embedded browser. By default, our Edge implementation is configured to block all pop-ups. While the opportunity exists to add our authenticator site to the list of allowed pop-ups, this would be a manual entry for our CAD user groups. Additionally, I am unsure if the embedded Edge with CI Edge would share the same settings. Would there be configuration settings available to us to control the behavior of the embedded Edge browser pop-ups?

    Also, the embedded Edge has the potential to cause other issues. How often is the embedded browser updated? How quickly are patches available when zero-day fixes are released?

    It would seem the best solution would be one that utilizes the Edge deployed to our desktops (as opposed to any separate version distributed with CI) and one that does not utilize pop-ups (if possible).

    We would certainly be willing to evaluate any combination short of this, as the pain points grow in our current circumstances. Apologies for the 20 questions. Just trying to understand the full environment.

    Hi Cristopher,

    We would like some additional information on your idea and the current limitations. We do have in our backlog plans to update CAD Integrator and the BIM Connector to use embedded Edge instead of Internet Explorer. Would that enable you to turn off the restriction for pop-ups and potentially provide a path forward on this?
