Free EditionEvery day, organizations are increasingly succumbing to cyberattacks. While your primary focus should be maintaining smart and secure passwords, you should also prioritize safeguarding user accounts. This can be done by implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA), which adds an extra layer of security to the existing username- and password-based authentication.
ADSelfService Plus supports 19 different authentication methods, including YubiKey, smart card, biometrics, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Duo Security. Learn more about MFA.
Duo Security is a cloud-based MFA vendor. It provides a set of authentication methods that can be used to secure logins to web applications, VPNs, and other cloud services. Duo's authentication methods include verifying users' identities with the help of something they know (a username, password, or OTP), something they possess (a device or security token), and something they are (biometrics). The possession factor includes sending OTPs or placing calls to users' devices like smartphones, PCs, or landlines.
As an administrator, you can configure Duo Security as one of the MFA authenticators for users in your Active Directory domain to secure:
With ADSelfService Plus, you can either make Duo Security a mandatory MFA authenticator for users or allow them to bypass it and choose an alternative from the other authentication methods available. You can also enable Duo Security for users belonging to specific domains, OUs, and groups.
Once enabled, users will have to enroll with Duo Security for the authenticator to be enforced during MFA. Duo provides its own list of authentication methods from which users can choose a convenient method to verify their identities. The modes of authentication that Duo Security provides are:
Upon successful enrollment, users will be able to authenticate themselves with the respective Duo Security authenticator and complete the required MFA process.
