Linux Authenticatio / Windows MFA
Hello,

 

I would like to know if it is possible to authenticate linux users through Okta, looking at the help center I found some answers but it is not clear whether it is possible or not.

I checked that Windows have the Microsoft RDP (MFA) application, is it possible to do without MFA? Only login ?

    Hi Marcelo,

     

    Ok, that makes sense. This isn't something we support directly today, but are looking closely at supporting that use case in the future.

     

    Thanks,

    Wils Dawson

    Hi Marcelo,

     

    I want to make sure I understand your questions. It seems like there are two questions here, one about linux users, and another about Windows RDP. Is that right?

     

    For the first about linux users, are you asking about authenticating users into linux systems? Or do you have an LDAP directory on a linux machine that you are trying to connect to Okta?

     

    I'm not sure on the second question, unfortunately.

    Hi Marcelo, 

     

    RE: MFA For RDP - you can create a sign on policy in the application to bypass MFA For a specific user. that user needs to be assigned to the app, but you can choose to exclude them from the app level sign on policy

    Hi Dawson,

     

    No, I don't have a LDAP directory, I'm asking about direct authenticating users into linux systems.

  • Hello @Marcelo have you looked at the Okta Radius Agent and using a Linux PAM for RADIUS AuthN?  

     

    https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/DeploymentGuides/Radius_Server_Agent/radius-server-agent-dg.htm 

     

    Note: currently it only support PAP not EAP so you need to be mindful of that and ensure the connection from the client to the radius agent is secured or use a RADIUS gatway like FreeRadius to proxy it. 

     

    There is also another thread detailing it here: https://support.okta.com/help/answers?id=9062A000000QuncQAC&feedtype=SINGLE_QUESTION_DETAIL&dc=xProvisioning&criteria=OPENQUESTIONS

     

    ​Hope this Helps, Regards Gareth
