MFA Configurations for VPN Services

1min

Kron PAM MFA can be used as a 3rd party MFA server for all applications, devices, VPNs, etc. that support RADIUS authentication. Two options are available for MFA server support:

  1. Both the first authentication (with username and password) and the secondary authentication (with OTP) are provided via Kron PAM. To activate this feature: • Define the VPN device according to the TACACS Access Manager configuration. • Enable MFA on the User Group (Navigate to Administration > MFA> User Group Management)
  2. Only a second authentication with OTP is provided via Kron PAM. To activate this feature: • Define the VPN device and the Device Group Realm with the related users in Kron PAM (See User Group Creation and Device Management sections.) • Define the element type property in the VPN Device element type section:
  3. Navigate to Device > Element Type.
  4. Click the Options button of the desired element type and select Show Properties.
  5. Set the radius.auth.only.token.enabled property value as true.
