This page outlines the steps required to enable Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for the Pulse Secure VPN.
|
UMIACS VPN mandatory multi-factor authentication goes into effect at 8:00am on May 10th, 2019. |
Prerequisites
- Device enrolled with UMIACS Duo
Configuring MFA
The Pulse VPN multi-factor authentication implementation relies on a secondary authentication source to fulfill the MFA requirement. As a result, you will be prompted for credentials twice.
- First credential: UMIACS Username & password
- Second credential: Your preferred MFA verification option:
| Secondary Password Value: | Result |
|---|---|
| push | Send a push verification to your Duo connected device |
| call | Send a call verification to your Duo connected device. |
|
|
Pro-tip: Select ‘Save Settings’ on the secondary authentication prompt to have Duo automatically send you a push. |
MFA Push Configuration Example:
- Connect with your existing Pulse VPN profile
- Enter your UMIACS credentials for the first authentication box and tick "Save settings".
- Type `push` into the password field on the second authentication box, tick "Save settings", and then click Connect. You should then receive a push to your mobile device to complete authentication. This will occur every time you connect to the VPN going forward.
