Study Notes
Authentication Methods
- Authentication methods are ranked from most secure to least secure: Push notification and QR code, One-time password, and Password.
- When a user is authenticated, they do not need to reauthenticate for SAML resources, RD Web resources, or the IdP portal unless a more secure authentication method is required.
Push Authentication
- Push authentication involves AuthPoint sending a push notification to the user's phone, which they can either approve to authenticate or deny to prevent unauthorized access.
MFA Authentication Methods
- Users install the AuthPoint mobile app on their phone to authenticate using one of three methods: Push Notification, QR Code, or One-Time Password (OTP).
- Push Notification: AuthPoint sends a push notification to the user's mobile device, which they approve or deny.
- QR Code: A QR code appears, which the AuthPoint app uses to scan and display a verification code for the user to type to authenticate.
- One-Time Password (OTP): The user provides a unique, temporary password generated by the AuthPoint app to authenticate.
AuthPoint Components
- AuthPoint Management UI: Where users set up and manage users, user groups, resources, authentication policies, policy objects, corporate applications, external identities, and the AuthPoint Gateway.
- Resources: Applications defined for use with AuthPoint.
- Authentication policies: Specify which resources AuthPoint users can authenticate to and which authentication methods they can use.
AuthPoint Authentication
- Each authentication policy specifies whether the policy allows or denies authentications.
- If MFA is required, the policy chooses whether to require a password and selects allowed authentication options.
- Users can choose one of the available authentication options when they authenticate to a resource.
- For RADIUS authentication, push and OTP authentication methods are available, but not QR code.
- RADIUS client resources that use MS-CHAPv2 only support the Push authentication method.
Policy Precedence
- Precedence determines which authentication policy to use when multiple policies could apply to a user authentication.
- The order of authentication policies determines which policy applies.
- AuthPoint uses the highest policy in the list that matches the conditions of the authentication, including the resource, user group, and IP address.
