Overview of MFA for OpenVPN Cloud
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for OpenVPN Cloud is an additional security measure requiring users to provide two verification elements in order to access OpenVPN Cloud. The first element involves entering an Active Directory / RADIUS username and password. Once entering the correct credentials, the user must perform secondary authentication using one of the available authentication methods such as a Mobile Push or Email Link. After both steps have been completed, the user successfully gains access to the resource. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for OpenVPN Cloud prevents malicious actors from compromising the VPN even when they know the user’s login credentials.
