Posted on: Sep 30, 2019

You can now enable Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) capabilities for your users using AWS Client VPN and Active Directory. Enterprises can now create a second layer of defense by prompting the user for additional factor, such as verifying a push notification or an email OTP.

You can enable and use MFA with AD support for Client VPN using the AWS Directory Services console or programmatically via the AWS SDK at no additional cost. For more information on setting up MFA visit documentation provided by Directory Services, Enabling MFA with AD for Managed Microsoft AD and Enabling MFA with AD for AD Connector.
