Features / Delivery configuration
Connect an SMS delivery provider for supported one-time-passcode or service notifications while keeping authentication policy independent of delivery choice.
Explore the design intent, review practical decisions and validate exact behavior against your deployed configuration.
Why it matters
Delivery success is not the same as authenticator strength. SMS may be restricted by policy, and toll fraud or social engineering can make it an unsuitable method for high-assurance actions.
Design intent
Validate provider credentials, sender/region configuration and delivery errors. Classify SMS according to the authentication policy, apply operation limits and avoid making SMS the sole recovery route for privileged identities.
Worked scenario
An SMS OTP is delivered through the configured provider, but a privileged action still evaluates the required assurance level and other controls.
Boundary to verify
Confirm enforcement at the relevant server, API, resource or operational decision point. A hidden button or an informative dashboard is not, by itself, an authorization control.
Practical path
Use these stages as a review guide. Exact settings and enforcement points depend on the configured deployment and connected systems.
Identify the actor, target resource and operation that custom sms provider is meant to govern.
Validate provider credentials, sender/region configuration and delivery errors. Classify SMS according to the authentication policy, apply operation limits and avoid making SMS the sole recovery route for privileged identities.
An SMS OTP is delivered through the configured provider, but a privileged action still evaluates the required assurance level and other controls. Also test the path that should be denied, deferred or sent for review.
Check that the resulting state is understandable and that the decision can be investigated later. For audit-enabled operations, confirm the relevant actor and context are captured.
Before rollout
A capability is easier to operate when ownership, failure behavior and verification are defined upfront.
This page describes a design approach based on WebFrolic’s documented product model. Verify feature availability and exact behavior in your environment before relying on it for a control requirement.

Evaluate with your scenario
Share the identities, resource boundary and decision you want to test. The walkthrough can focus on the relevant behavior rather than a generic feature tour.
