x360Recover lockdown mode enforces multi-factor authentication for all devices.

  • Lockdown mode disables local logins (and local user access) to appliances and vaults.
  • Users are required to (a) log in to x360Recover Manager, either directly or via single sign-on from the x360 Portal, and then must (b) connect to the appliance or vault from the cloud.
  • When lockdown mode is enabled, the local login console is disabled and hidden.

Important note: To give your customers access to the BDR appliance and cloud vault under lockdown mode, you will first need to configure client-specific access to Manager.

A message directing users to log in via the cloud appears:
