Using MFA for RDP Connections

1min

To activate MFA for an RDP connection to a target device:

  1. Pre-requisite: Admin and users have the QR code, installed the Single Connect mobile app, scanned the QR code with the mobile app, and OTP is enabled for the user group that will be using MFA for RDP connections (See sections Sending MFA QR Code to Users, Creating a Connection Between Single Connect and the Single Connect Mobile Application, Enabling Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)
  2. Log in to the Single Connect Web GUI.
  3. Navigate to Administration > System Config Man.
  4. Set these required parameters: sc.rdp.connection.otp.enabled=true (one-time-password enabled for RDP connections) sc.rdp.otp.cache.enabled=true (If the cache parameter is activated, after entering an MFA the user will not be asked for OTP during the cache duration) sc.rdp.otp.cache.seconds=240 (cache time in seconds)
  5. After these settings, a user belonging to an enabled user group will be asked for a token when logging in to an RDP server.
