XenMobile SMS Enrollment

SMS Gateway Xenmobile

As I was asking by a customer how user enrollment can be improved and make it more secure, we discuss on the SMS Gateway feature with enrollment URL + PIN.

In fact it’s very easy to implement but testing it should be complicated, in fact I used Nexmo and with a trial version the link send in the SMS is not correctly interpreted.

As I got a full Nexmo account I was able to do it successfully.

Here following the steps:

1. SMS Provider information

You need to create a account, here following mine on Nexmo.

After creating the account just log with it.

Click on your Account name and Settings

Take note of your API Key and API Secret as it will be need for the XMS configuration

In the top menu, click on Numbers
