NetIQ Advanced Authentication

Posted on by

Configure you account for no internet access/alternate authentication

These steps will be important, if our internet connection is offline, you MUST have a secondary method to authenticate to our network since SMS will be unavailable until internet services are restored.  This is also another method to authenticate without entering your password.

This is also important for laptop users who may not have access out in the field, and need to log in.

  1. Download the NetIQ Advanced Authentication app from your mobile app store 
  1. Log into the Advanced Authentication Portal with your username and eDirectory password (https://authentication.clawsons.com). This link is also listed on our employee page under “Corporate Links” -> “NetIQ Authentication Server” 
  1. Under “Add Authenticator”, select “Smartphone” 
  1. On the next screen, type in a comment to help identify your device, I simply used “iPhone”, click “Save”, the next page displays a QR Code 
  1. Open the NetIQ Advanced Authentication App on your mobile device, set a password PIN for the app (Do not forget your PIN)
  1. Click the “+” sign at the top right-hand corner, allow the app to use the camera, and point the camera to the QR code displayed. 
  1. The Authentication will register your device and Mobile Application should now be paired, The Mobile Application show display a 6 digit code that refreshes every 60 seconds.  If you receive “No Route Found”, try again.
  1. NOTE: The NetIQ Smartphone App can use faceID for authentication. To enable this (instead of using a PIN every time you open the app) click the menu button in the app at the top left hand corner, click “Settings” and enable FaceID.
  1. Once your smartphone is registered, log into the OES Client, you will have 2 authentication “Chains” to choose from. 
  1. The Smartphone chain may not be available the first time you log into your workstation, but will after your workstation syncs with the authentication server. 

11. Select the Chain in which you wish to authenticate. OES

12. Selecting “OESSMSChain” will send and SMS text to your mobile device, Selecting “Smartphone” will ask you to login by selecting the authentication request on your mobile device.  If you select “Accept” on your mobile app notification, the device will automatically login. You may also enter the 6 digit code displayed in the mobile app.

Filr Issue

Posted on by

We have identified an issue with uploading images via the Filr App from images in IOS that were saved from a text message. There is a work around. IOS saves images as HEIC images. Filr is supposed to convert the image to a jpg during the file upload, but it is not doing so when the image has been sent via iMessage and times out. To upload HEIC images directly from a text message or the Photos app to Filr:

Open the photos app in IOS, OR open the image in iMessage

Select the “Share” button and scroll until you find the “Filr” app and select it.

Choose the location you wish to save the image on the network by selecting “Upload to”, and then select “Upload”

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me

Thanks,

Rick

Insurance

Posted on by

September 7, 2022

To: All employees
From: Gregg Clawson

We are in the process of changing our health care provider. For far too long we have been accepting annual increases from our current provider as “business as usual”. Our goal as owners is to provide the best benefits we can afford to our employees. However, we simply can no longer accept our existing, exorbitant, health care plan. These continuing increases affect our daily operations, cash flow, bank credit and our ability to fund large projects or new ventures. This financial anchor is limiting our ability to expand and grow the next generation of this company.

Beginning October 1, 2022, we are switching our provider from Anthem to United Healthcare, a national healthcare provider. We should see only minor changes in our coverage, however there may be incidents where your current physician may not be part of the in-network coverage.

We will be increasing “employee contribution” on only the medical health care portion. In turn, we will eliminate the employee contribution for dental and vision, and continue to cover 100% of the costs for long and short-term disability and life insurance. The national average for employee healthcare contribution is 25% of the premium amount. We currently collect 15% premium for employee contribution. The new employee contribution will be 20% of the premium which is still considerably less than the national average. We wish it were a 0% contribution.

Our deductibles will increase as well. However, the company will offset the deductible increase above our existing deductible rates. So, in essence, you will see no change in your deductible. A process for the company covering the increase in deductibles is being formulated and will be announced at the time of the switchover to the new insurance.

We will meet with you individually to explain the changes and answer all your questions as best we can. Our goal is and will continue to be the best coverage for our employees that we can afford.

Any big change has growing pains. Please be patient as we work through the headaches of a major change.

Sincerely,
Gregg Clawson
