Pocket App

AFAS Pocket is an app that enables 'mobile working' with Profit via a smartphone or tablet (on supported versions of Apple iOS and Android).

Pocket and the new sign-on method

AFAS Online customers will switch to the new sign-on method in phases as from halfway through June 2018. AFAS Pocket plays an essential role within this context. After all, you use AFAS Pocket when signing on based on two-factor authorisation.

If you only use Pocket for two-factor authentication, you do not have to configure Pocket. Your users download the app and they also activate AFAS Pocket during the first sign-on for two-factor authentication.

Description

For the data traffic between Profit and AFAS Pocket, a proxy server is used which is managed by AFAS. This applies to both AFAS Online and local installations.

By using a specific proxy server, an end user of the app does not have to specify a URL for the communication with Profit. The end user only specifies an environment key. He/she will receive an email back afterwards with an activation code that he/she can use to definitely starting using the app. Data traffic between Profit and the proxy server takes place through a secure point-to-point connection.
