Ă—In this setup guide, we will configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Remote Desktop Services (RDS). This additional layer of security helps protect your RDS environment from unauthorized access by requiring users to provide two or more authentication factors.
By implementing 2FA/MFA for Remote Desktop Service (RDS), you enhance the overall security of your remote desktop access. It significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, as it becomes much harder for attackers to bypass the additional authentication layer. This helps protect sensitive data and mitigates the chances of successful brute-force attacks or compromised credentials.

VDI is a desktop-centric service that hosts user desktop environments on remote servers and storage systems, which are accessed over a network using a remote display protocol. Enterprises are converting physical desktops to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) since it provides efficient hardware utilization and centralized management while reducing costs.
Due to the COVID-19, many companies need to find some ways to enable remote working. VDI solution is one of their choices. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) can provide a quick win VDI solution but it still need to spend efforts to setup for some authentications and security settings, e.g. MFA. For some SME companies, they may not have their own RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server and OTP (one-time password) server to enable Two Factor Authentication 2FA/MFA. miniOrange provides a ready to use Two-Factor Authentication - 2FA solution for RDS/RDP/RD Web/RD Gateway using RADIUS Server which enables an extra layer of authentication to RDS/RDP/RD Web/RD Gateway logins & ensures that you roll out secure access to your employees within minutes.
To use miniOrange Two-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA) you can enable RADIUS authentication in Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and configure policies in miniOrange to enable or disable Two-Factor Authentication 2FA for users.
