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:

• RADIUS

  • Azure MFA (RADIUS)

  • Duo (RADIUS)

  • FortiAuthenticator (RADIUS)

  • TekRADIUS

  • RADIUS

• TOTP

  • Google Authenticator

  • Microsoft Authenticator

  • TOTP (Time-based one-time password)

• Email OTP

• Deepnet

• SafeNet

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.
