# Connect to a RAS Farm

## **Parallels Client**

Once DualShield has been enabled the users will have two-factor authentication. If using software tokens such as QuickID the administrator does not have to create a token for each user. RAS Connection Broker will automatically create the token when the user tries to log in for the first time.

When a user tries to access a RAS Connection from Parallels Client, they are first prompted for the Windows username and password. If the credentials are accepted, RAS Connection Broker will communicate with the DualShield server to create a unique token for that user.

If using MobileID or QuickID, an email about where to download the appropriate software will be sent to the user.

If using QuickID tokens, the application will ask for a One-Time Password which is sent by e-mail or SMS.

When asked for OTP, enter the One-Time Password to log in to the Parallels ApplicationServer XG Gateway.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/connection-and-authentication-settings/multi-factor-authentication/using-deepnet-dualshield/connect-to-a-ras-farm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
