The RD Gateway server receives an authentication request to connect to an RDP session.A load balancer routes the request to RDGW01 or RDGW02.A load balancer gets a request from a remote desktop user.For your reference, below is an overview of the solution after installing and configuring the NPS Extension for Azure MFA on both NPS servers.įigure 2: An RDP session over an RD Gateway & a central server running NPS Extension for Azure MFA installed Phase II – Installing and configuring NPS Extension for Azure MFA We also look at the tools and log you will need to troubleshoot issues should they occur. The aim here is to introduce NPS Extension for Azure MFA, with minimal interruption to services. In phase II (what you are reading now), we will focus on installing and configuring the NPS Extension for Azure MFA. I know managers of IT service companies that told customers they would fire them if they did not allow MFA to be enabled where possible, and this included their RD Gateway solution. No, it has been a hard requirement for a while. MFA has not been a “mere option” for many years now.

In phase I, we address how we will change and prepare the existing deployment for NPS Extension for Azure MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) by introducing a high available central NPS for the RD Connection Authorization Policies.įigure 1: Secure any form of access with MFA (Photo by FLY:D on Unsplash) In this article series, we transform a highly available RD Gateway deployment into one protected with MFA.
