Creating an MFA policy

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id options.

1. See the description of the CLI command for creating an MFA policy:

   yc organization-manager mfa-enforcement create --help
   

2. Create an MFA policy by running the command:

   yc organization-manager mfa-enforcement create \
     --organization-id <organization_ID> \
     --acr-id <authentication_factor_type> \
     --ttl <lifetime> \
     --status <policy_status> \
     --apply-at <activation_time> \
     --enroll-window <creation_deadline> \
     --name <policy_name> \
     --description <policy_description>
   

   Where:

   • --name: Policy name. The naming requirements are as follows:

     • It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
     • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
     • It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

   • --organization-id: Organization ID.

   • --acr-id: Authentication factor type. The possible values are:

     • any-mfa: Authentication factors without security restrictions.

       Note

       SMS as an authentication factor is at the Preview stage and available only to customers with a billable limit of Identity Hub users. To get access, contact support or your account manager.

     • any-except-sms: Only FIDO2 or TOTP factors.

     • phr: Only phishing-resistant FIDO2 factors.

   • --ttl: Credential validity period in days.

   • --status: Policy status, active (status-active) or inactive (status-inactive).

   • --apply-at: Time after which the policy will become active. This is an optional parameter.

   • --enroll-window: Period in days during which the user must add a second authentication factor after registration.

   • --description: Policy description. This is an optional parameter.

3. Optionally, run the following command to activate an inactive MFA policy:

   yc organization-manager mfa-enforcement activate \
     --id <policy_ID>
   

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

1. In the Terraform configuration file, describe the MFA policy parameters:

   resource "yandex_organizationmanager_mfa_enforcement" "example_mfa_policy" {
     name            = "<policy_name>"
     organization_id = "<organization_ID>"
     acr_id          = "<authentication_factor_type>"
     ttl             = "<lifetime>"
     status          = "<policy_status>"
     apply_at        = "<activation_time>"
     enroll_window   = "<creation_deadline>"
     description     = "<policy_description>"
   }
   

   Where:

   • name: Policy name. This is a required parameter. The naming requirements are as follows:

     • It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
     • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
     • It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

   • organization_id: Organization ID. This is a required parameter.

   • acr_id: Authentication factor type. This is a required parameter. The possible values are:

     • any-mfa: Authentication factors without security restrictions.
     • any-except-sms: Only FIDO2 or TOTP factors.
     • phr: Only phishing-resistant FIDO2 factors.

   • ttl: Credential validity period in time format, e.g., 336h0m0s for 14 days. This is a required parameter.

   • status: Policy status. This is an optional parameter; the possible values are:

     • MFA_ENFORCEMENT_STATUS_ACTIVE: Active.
     • MFA_ENFORCEMENT_STATUS_INACTIVE: Inactive.

   • apply_at: Time after which the policy will become active, in RFC3339 format, e.g., 2024-12-31T23:59:59Z. This is an optional parameter.

   • --enroll-window: Period of time after registration during which the user must add a second authentication factor. Uses time format, e.g., 720h0m0s for 30 days. This is a required parameter.

   • description: Policy description. This is an optional parameter.

   For more information about yandex_organizationmanager_mfa_enforcement properties, see this provider guide.

2. Create the resources:

   1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

   4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

   Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new MFA policy using the Cloud Center UI or this CLI command:

   yc organization-manager mfa-enforcement get <policy_ID>
   

Use the Create REST API method for the MfaEnforcement resource or the MfaEnforcementService/Create gRPC API call.
