This document will walk you through the process of setting up API access to Duo and will also walk you through the complementary setup inside of the Oort console.

Duo Security Integration

Understanding Oort admin API permissions

There are different types of API types of permissions sets that can be used with your Oort tenant and Duo.

• Read-only admin API - this is generated using a read-only permissions (shown below) and used for data ingestion and analysis only

• Read/write admin API permissions - this adds the Grant write resource permission in order to take advantage of the defined list of Oort Remediation Actions.

• Auth API permissions - one of the Actions available for an individual user is to send a push notification to the user's Duo enrolled mobile device. The Duo Auth API requires a separate auth key, as outlined below.

Remediation actions can only be taken by administrator or help desk roles in Oort and are limited to the list in the above article.

Oort recommends configuring all of the APIs documented below for full functionality and the best experience.
