duoCreateActivationCode does not appear to send the default SMS welcome messages about duo-psmodule HOT 3 OPEN

You should have a look at the documentation here:
https://duo.com/docs/adminapi

duoSendSMSCodes sends SMS "passcode", not "activation code".

There is no function for sending activation code via SMS in this module. Maybe someone should add it.

Good Luck

That makes sense. Yeah, I was able to utilize duoSendSMSCode against my phone_id and I absolutely got the SMS with the code.

I was hoping duoCreateActivationCode would also send the activation/installation text messages you get from the web interface as it does return the activation_barcode and activation_url.

I suppose I could pull those attributes and include them in an email I'm already sending in the script.

It looks like based on the API documentation that opening the "activation_url" that was generated will also prompt the user to download and install (just tested and confirmed).

I don't think you can use the code sent via duoSendSMSCode to actually register the application with the application you're protecting with Duo. I think that's just for providing during the 2FA step when accessing the application.

I think I'll be sending the activation link in an onboarding email. Shouldn't be too cumbersome to open the email on their phone and click the link.

Either way, I think it would be great it the API did provide a way to also initiate the barcode and activation URLs into a text message like the web interface offers.

Edit: After re-reading the documentation it looks like the API does support sending an activation text message, but as you indicated, that's not built into the wrapper so could likely be accomplished. Just wanted to correct myself there!

Thanks for your advice!

You can simply copy the duoCreateActivation function and rename it to duoSendSMSActivation, then in the $path variable change /activation_url to /send_sms_activation

You'll need to open a new PowerShell session and import but that's about it.
