Supported SMS providers
Some features - mainly MTAN authentication - require sending SMS messages via an SMS service. Airlock IAM provides a set of plugins implementing the SMS Gateway interface.
This page lists the corresponding plugins and also provides a list of services IAM is known to work with.
If your preferred SMS provider or service is missing, you can implement a custom SMS Gateway plugin. Please contact us (https://techzone.airlock.com/support) if you need support or want Airlock to implement the plugin for you.
