Multi-factor authentication

Parallels RAS allows you to use multi-factor authentication for access control. When multi-factor authentication is used, users will have to authenticate through two successive stages to get the application list. While the first level will always use native authentication (Active Directory / LDAP), the second level can use one of the following solutions:

• Azure MFA (RADIUS)
• Duo (RADIUS)
• FortiAuthenticator (RADIUS)
• TekRADIUS
• Deepnet
• SafeNet
• Google Authenticator

Multi-factor authentication is more secure because instead of using a standard user name and password, it uses a static user name and a one-time password generated by a token.

Multi-factor authentication can be configured in the Parallels RAS Console in Connection > Multi-factor authentication.
