Prerequisites

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.

MFA Push Configuration Example:

  1. Connect with your existing Pulse VPN profile
  2. Enter your UMIACS credentials for the first authentication box and tick "Save settings".

  3. 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.
