Multi-factor

Configure multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Devolutions Server to add an extra layer of security to the application.

Devolutions Server supports multiple types of MFA. You can configure a default MFA type for your entire organization or configure MFA user by user. When MFA is configured, users log in with their username/password as well as an MFA product.

Configure Multi-Factor Authentication From the Web Interface

1. To access the MFA configuration, navigate to Administration – Server Settings – Multi-factor.
2. The first option is to choose how you want to enforce multi-factor authentication. To do so, click on the information icon next to MFA usage to go to the Conditional Access Policies section.

   

3. Select a Target (Login or MFA).

   

4. If you chose the MFA in the last step, select a Default action when no policy matches between the following:
   • MFA Required: MFA is enforced for all users. A default MFA type is set for all users.
   • MFA Skipped: MFA is not enforced.
   • MFA Optional per User: MFA is enforced on an individual basis. The administrator chooses who uses MFA and what product or technology they use. Choose this option if not all users are set up for multi-factor authentication.

5. Back to the Multi-factor section, choose who to send the reset email to between Administrator(s) or a Specific email (in which case you must specify the email in the Specific email field).

   

6. Check the boxes next to the supported authenticators that you want to enable. You can choose as many as necessary.

7. Select the Default MFA between the ones you enabled in the previous step.
8. Select alternate ways to log in between Email and Backup codes. These options will be offered when users do not have access to their usual method.

   

9. Click Save.
