Duo Two-Factor Authentication for NetMotion Mobility

Last Updated: September 19th, 2023

Contents

Duo integrates with your NetMotion Mobility VPN software to add two-factor authentication to any VPN login.

Overview

Duo two-factor authentication for NetMotion supports using the EAP (PEAP-GTC) mechanism against a RADIUS server using Duo's Authentication Proxy radius_client primary authentication or against an Active Directory domain controller using ad_client primary authentication. If you are not using Active Directory and do not have a RADIUS server that supports EAP you must deploy one (for example, Microsoft Network Policy Server or FreeRADIUS) before using Duo authentication. If using RADIUS as the primary authenticator with NetMotion EAP, the RADIUS server must permit use of PAP encryption.

You will need a certificate and corresponding key file when configuring the Duo Authentication Proxy. The key file must not be encrypted nor can it require a password for use. The certificate can be issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA) or self-signed. If you'd like to use a self-signed certificate, you can create one using OpenSSL following the example instructions here. If you have enabled the "Validate server certificate" option on your NetMotion Mobility clients, then you must use a certificate issued by a CA that your Mobility client systems trust.

This configuration doesn't support inline self-service enrollment. You'll need to create your users in Duo ahead of time using one of our other enrollment methods, like directory sync or CSV import. Read the enrollment documentation to learn more.

Connectivity Requirements

This application communicates with Duo's service on SSL TCP port 443.

Firewall configurations that restrict outbound access to Duo's service with rules using destination IP addresses or IP address ranges aren't recommended, since these may change over time to maintain our service's high availability. If your organization requires IP-based rules, please review Duo Knowledge Base article 1337.

Effective June 30, 2023, Duo no longer supports TLS 1.0 or 1.1 connections or insecure TLS/SSL cipher suites. See Duo Knowledge Base article 7546 for additional guidance.

First Steps

Before moving on to the deployment steps, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with Duo administration concepts and features like options for applications, and Duo policy settings and how to apply them. You'll need to pre-enroll your users in Duo using one of our available methods before they can log in using this configuration. See all Duo Administrator documentation.

You should already have a working primary authentication configuration for your NetMotion VPN users before you begin to deploy Duo.

To integrate Duo with your NetMotion VPN, you will need to install a local Duo proxy service on a machine within your network. This Duo proxy server will receive incoming RADIUS requests from your NetMotion VPN, contact your existing local LDAP/AD or RADIUS server to perform primary authentication if necessary, and then contact Duo's cloud service for secondary authentication.

If you are already running a Duo Authentication Proxy server in your environment, you can use that existing host for additional applications, appending the new configuration sections to the current config. You don't have to set up a new Authentication Proxy server for each application you create. However, there are some cases where it might make sense for you to deploy a new proxy server for a new application, like if you want to co-locate the Duo proxy with the application it will protect in the same data center.

We recommend the following operating systems for the system hosting the Duo Authentication Proxy:

  • Windows Server 2016 or later
  • CentOS 7
  • CentOS Stream 8 or later
  • Fedora 37 or later
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or later
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or later
  • Debian 11 or later

The Duo End of Sale, Last Date of Support, and End of Life Policy states that Duo does not offer support for integrations running on operating system versions beyond the vendor’s stated Last Date of Support date.

See detailed Authentication Proxy operating system performance recommendations in the Duo Authentication Proxy Reference.

We do not recommend installing the Duo Authentication Proxy on the same Windows server that acts as your Active Directory domain controller or one with the Network Policy Server (NPS) role. If you must co-locate the Duo Authentication Proxy with these services, be prepared to resolve potential LDAP or RADIUS port conflicts between the Duo service and your pre-existing services.

Then you'll need to:

  1. Sign up for a Duo account.
  2. Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Applications.
  3. Click Protect an Application and locate the entry for NetMotion Mobility with a protection type of "2FA" in the applications list. Click Protect to get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname. You'll need this information to complete your setup. See Protecting Applications for more information about protecting applications in Duo and additional application options.
Treat your secret key like a password

The security of your Duo application is tied to the security of your secret key (skey). Secure it as you would any sensitive credential. Don't share it with unauthorized individuals or email it to anyone under any circumstances!

Install the Duo Authentication Proxy

If you will reuse an existing Duo Authentication Proxy server for this new application, you can skip the install steps and go to Configure the Proxy.

The Duo Authentication Proxy can be installed on a physical or virtual host. We recommend a system with at least 1 CPU, 200 MB disk space, and 4 GB RAM (although 1 GB RAM is usually sufficient). See additional Authentication Proxy performance recommendations in the Duo Authentication Proxy Reference.

We do not recommend installing the Duo Authentication Proxy on the same Windows server that acts as your Active Directory domain controller or one with the Network Policy Server (NPS) role. If you must co-locate the Duo Authentication Proxy with these services, be prepared to resolve potential LDAP or RADIUS port conflicts between the Duo service and your pre-existing services.

  1. Download the most recent Authentication Proxy for Windows from https://dl.duosecurity.com/duoauthproxy-latest.exe. Note that the actual filename will reflect the version e.g. duoauthproxy-6.4.1.exe. View checksums for Duo downloads here.
  2. Launch the Authentication Proxy installer on the target Windows server as a user with administrator rights and follow the on-screen prompts.

    When installing, you can choose whether or not you want to install the Proxy Manager. The Proxy Manager is a Windows utility that helps you edit the Duo Authentication Proxy configuration, determine the proxy's status, and start or stop the proxy service. Learn more about using the Proxy Manager. Installing the Proxy Manager adds about 100 MB to the installed size.

    If you do not want to install the Proxy Manager, you may deselect it on the "Choose Components" installer screen before clicking Install.

Silent Install

To perform a silent install on Windows, issue the following from an elevated command prompt after downloading the installer (replacing version with the actual version you downloaded):

duoauthproxy-version.exe /S

Append /exclude-auth-proxy-manager to install silently without the Proxy Manager:

duoauthproxy-version.exe /S /exclude-auth-proxy-manager
  1. Ensure that Perl and a compiler toolchain are installed. On most recent RPM-based distributions — like Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise, and CentOS — you can install these by running (as root):

    $ yum install gcc make libffi-devel perl zlib-devel diffutils

    On Debian-derived systems, install these dependencies by running (as root):

    $ apt-get install build-essential libffi-dev perl zlib1g-dev

    If SELinux is present on your system and you want the Authentication Proxy installer to build and install its SELinux module, include selinux-policy-devel and chkconfig in the dependencies:

    $ yum install gcc make libffi-devel perl zlib-devel diffutils selinux-policy-devel chkconfig
    $ apt-get install build-essential libffi-dev perl zlib1g-dev selinux-policy-devel chkconfig
  2. Download the most recent Authentication Proxy for Unix from https://dl.duosecurity.com/duoauthproxy-latest-src.tgz. From the command line you can use curl or wget to download the file, like $ wget --content-disposition https://dl.duosecurity.com/duoauthproxy-latest-src.tgz. Depending on your download method, the actual filename may reflect the version e.g. duoauthproxy-6.4.1-src.tgz. View checksums for Duo downloads here.

  3. Extract the Authentication Proxy files and build it as follows:

    $ tar xzf duoauthproxy-6.4.1-src.tgz
    $ cd duoauthproxy-version-src
    $ make
  4. Install the authentication proxy (as root):

    $ cd duoauthproxy-build
    $ ./install

    Follow the prompts to complete the installation. The installer creates a user to run the proxy service and a group to own the log directory and files. You can accept the default user and group names or enter your own.

    If SELinux is present on the target server, the Duo installer will ask you if you want to install the Authentication Proxy SELinux module. Your selection affects whether systemd can start the Authentication Proxy after installation.

    If you choose to install the Authentication Proxy SELinux module and the dependencies selinux-policy-devel and chkconfig are not present, then the installer fails to build the module.

    SELinux Mode Default Response Result
    Enforcing Yes Choose 'yes' to install the Authentication Proxy's SELinux module. This permits start of the Authentication Proxy service by systemd. If you choose 'no' then the SELinux module is not installed, and systemd cannot start the Authentication Proxy service.
    Permissive No Choose 'no' to decline install of the Authentication Proxy's SELinux module. The Authentication Proxy service can be started by systemd. However, if you change SELinux from permissive to enforcing mode after installing the Duo proxy, systemd can no longer start the Authentication Proxy service. If you plan to enable SELinux enforcing mode later, you should choose 'yes' to install the Authentication Proxy SELinux module now.
Silent Install

To install the Duo proxy silently with the default options, use the following command:

sudo ./duoauthproxy-build/install --install-dir /opt/duoauthproxy --service-user duo_authproxy_svc --log-group duo_authproxy_grp --create-init-script yes

Append --enable-selinux=yes|no to the install command to choose whether to install the Authentication Proxy SELinux module.

Configure the Proxy

After the installation completes, you will need to configure the proxy.

The Duo Authentication Proxy configuration file is named authproxy.cfg, and is located in the conf subdirectory of the proxy installation. With default installation paths, the proxy configuration file will be located at:

Operating System Authentication
Proxy Version
Path
Windows v5.0.0 and later C:\Program Files\Duo Security Authentication Proxy\conf\authproxy.cfg
Windows v4.0.2 and earlier C:\Program Files (x86)\Duo Security Authentication Proxy\conf\authproxy.cfg
Linux All /opt/duoauthproxy/conf/authproxy.cfg

Note that as of v4.0.0, the default file access on Windows for the conf directory is restricted to the built-in Administrators group during installation.

The configuration file is formatted as a simple INI file. Section headings appear as:

[section]

Individual properties beneath a section appear as:

name=value

The Authentication Proxy may include an existing authproxy.cfg with some example content. For the purposes of these instructions, however, you should delete the existing content and start with a blank text file.

Duo Authentication Proxy Manager

The Duo Authentication Proxy Manager is a Windows utility for managing the Authentication Proxy installation on the Windows server where you install the Authentication Proxy. The Proxy Manager comes with Duo Authentication Proxy for Windows version 5.6.0 and later.

The Proxy Manager cannot manage remote Duo Authentication Proxy servers, nor can you install the Proxy Manager as a stand-alone application. There is no Proxy Manager available for Linux. The Proxy Manager only functions as part of a local Duo Authentication Proxy installation on Windows servers.

Learn more about using the Proxy Manager in the Duo Authentication Proxy Reference before you continue.

To launch the Proxy Manager utility:

  • Open the Start Menu and go to Duo Security.
  • Click the Duo Authentication Proxy Manager icon to launch the application. You must have administrative privileges on the Windows server and accept the prompt for elevation.
  • The Proxy Manager launches and automatically opens the %ProgramFiles%\Duo Security Authentication Proxy\conf\authproxy.cfg file for editing.

Use the Proxy Manager editor on the left to make the authproxy.cfg changes in these instructions. As you type into the editor, the Proxy Manager will automatically suggest configuration options. Accepting these suggestions helps make sure you use the correct option syntax.

As you follow the instructions on this page to edit the Authentication Proxy configuration, you can click Validate to verify your changes (output shown on the right).

When you complete the Authentication Proxy configuration steps in this document, you can use the Save button to write your updates to authproxy.cfg, and then use the authproxy.cfg button to start the Authentication Proxy service before continuing on to the next configuration steps.

If you do not use the Proxy Manager to edit your configuration then we recommend using WordPad or another text editor instead of Notepad when editing the config file on Windows.

Configure the Proxy for Your Primary Authenticator

In this step, you'll set up the Proxy's primary authenticator — the system which will validate users' existing passwords. Determine which type of primary authentication you'll be using, and create either an Active Directory/LDAP [ad_client] client section, or a RADIUS [radius_client] section as follows.

Active Directory

Add an [ad_client] section if you'd like to use an Active Directory domain controller (DC) or LDAP-based directory server to perform primary authentication. This section accepts the following options:

Required

host

The hostname or IP address of your domain controller or directory server. If this host doesn't respond to a primary authentication request and no additional hosts are specified (as host_2, host_3, etc.) then the user's login attempt fails.

service_account_username

The username of a domain account that has permission to bind to your directory and perform searches. We recommend creating a service account that has read-only access.

This parameter not required when using SSPI authentication; see the auth_type optional parameter description in the Authentication Proxy Reference for more information.

service_account_password

The password corresponding to service_account_username. If you installed the Duo proxy on Windows and would like to encrypt this password, see Encrypting Passwords in the full Authentication Proxy documentation.

This parameter not required when using SSPI authentication; see the auth_type optional parameter description in the Authentication Proxy Reference for more information.

search_dn

The LDAP distinguished name (DN) of an Active Directory/LDAP container or organizational unit (OU) containing all of the users you wish to permit to log in. For example:

search_dn=DC=example,DC=com

Optional

host_2

The hostname or IP address of a secondary/fallback domain controller or directory server, which the Authentication Proxy will use if a primary authentication request to the system defined as host times out. You can add additional servers as fallback hosts by specifying them as as host_3, host_4, etc.

security_group_dn

To further restrict access, specify the LDAP distinguished name (DN) of a security group that contains the users who should be able to log in as direct group members. Nested groups are not supported. Users who are not direct members of the specified group will not pass primary authentication. Example:

security_group_dn=CN=DuoVPNUsers,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com

Starting with Authentication Proxy v3.2.0, the security_group_dn may be the DN of an AD user's primarygroup. Prior versions do not support primary groups.

username_attribute

LDAP attribute found on a user entry which will contain the submitted username. In most Active Directory configurations, it should not be necessary to change this option from the default value. OpenLDAP directories may use "uid" or another attribute for the username, which should be specified with this option.

Default: "sAMAccountName"

For example:

[ad_client]
host=1.2.3.4
host_2=1.2.3.5
service_account_username=duoservice
service_account_password=password1
search_dn=DC=example,DC=com
security_group_dn=CN=DuoVPNUsers,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com

For advanced Active Directory configuration, see the full Authentication Proxy documentation.

RADIUS

To use RADIUS as your primary authenticator, add a [radius_client] section to the top of your config file. Then add the following properties to the section:

Required

host

The IP address of your primary RADIUS server. If this host doesn't respond to a primary authentication request and no additional hosts are specified (as host_2, host_3, etc.) then the user's login attempt fails.

secret

A secret to be shared between the Authentication Proxy and your existing RADIUS server. If you installed the Duo proxy on Windows and would like to encrypt this secret, see Encrypting Passwords in the full Authentication Proxy documentation.

Optional

host_2

The IP address of a secondary/fallback primary RADIUS server, which the Authentication Proxy will use if a primary authentication request to the system defined as host times out. You can add additional servers as fallback hosts by specifying them as as host_3, host_4, etc.

port

The authentication port on your RADIUS server. Use port_2, port_3, etc. to specify ports for the backup servers.

Default:1812

pass_through_all

If this option is set to true, all RADIUS attributes set by the primary authentication server will be copied into RADIUS responses sent by the proxy.

Default: false

For example:

[radius_client]
host=1.2.3.4
host_2=1.2.3.5
secret=radiusclientsecret

In addition, make sure that the RADIUS server is configured to accept authentication requests from the Authentication Proxy.

For advanced RADIUS configuration, see the full Authentication Proxy documentation.

Configure the Proxy for Your NetMotion Mobility

Next, you need to set up the Authentication Proxy to work with your NetMotion Mobility. Create a [radius_server_eap] section and add the properties listed below. If you've already set up the Duo Authentication Proxy for a different RADIUS EAP application, append a number to the section header to make it unique, like [radius_server_eap2].

Required

ikey

Your integration key.

skey

Your secret key.

api_host

Your API hostname (e.g. "api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com").

radius_ip_1

The IP address of your NetMotion Mobility.

radius_secret_1

A secret to be shared between the proxy and your NetMotion Mobility. If you're on Windows and would like to encrypt this secret, see Encrypting Passwords in the full Authentication Proxy documentation.

client

The mechanism that the Authentication Proxy should use to perform primary authentication. This should correspond with a "client" section elsewhere in the config file.

ad_client

Use Active Directory/LDAP for primary authentication. Make sure you have an [ad_client] section configured.

radius_client

Use RADIUS for primary authentication. Make sure you have a [radius_client] section configured.

This parameter is optional if you only have one "client" section. If you have multiple, each "server" section should specify which "client" to use.

certs

Path to PEM-formatted SSL/TLS server certificate. Both certs and pkey must be specified.

pkey

Path to PEM-formatted SSL/TLS private key that corresponds with the cert. The key file must not be protected by a password. Both cert and pkey must be specified.

Optional

port

The port on which to listen for incoming RADIUS Access Requests. If you have multiple RADIUS server sections you should use a unique port for each one. If you have another service running on the server where you installed Duo that is using the default RADIUS port 1812, you will need to set this to a different port number to avoid a conflict.

Default: 1812.

interface

IP address of the network interface on which to listen for incoming RADIUS Access Requests.

Default: listen on all interfaces

failmode

Either "safe" or "secure":

"safe"

In the event that Duo's service cannot be contacted, users' authentication attempts will be permitted if primary authentication succeeds. This is the default.

"secure"

In the event that Duo's service cannot be contacted, all users' authentication attempts will be rejected.

allow_concat

If "false", always use auto-factor selection (never check for a delimiter in user passwords). If "true", check for the delimiter character and use the appended factor or passcode. Default: "false" (do not check for the delimiter and an appended Duo factor or passcode).

radius_ip_2

The IP address of your second NetMotion Mobility, if you have one. You can specify additional devices as as radius_ip_3, radius_ip_4, etc.

radius_secret_2

The secrets shared with your second NetMotion Mobility, if using one. You can specify secrets for additional devices as radius_secret_3, radius_secret_4, etc. If you're on Windows and would like to encrypt this secret, see Encrypting Passwords in the full Authentication Proxy documentation.

minimum_tls_version

Specify the minimum TLS version for SSL connections when the Authentication Proxy acts as a server. One of: "ssl3", "tls1.0", "tls1.1", or "tls1.2".

If not specified, defaults to TLS 1.2 as the minimum as of Authentication Proxy version 3.0.0. Configurable in version 2.12.0 or later.

cipher_list

If configured, this limits the SSL cipher suites used by the Authentication Proxy when acting as a server to the specific ciphers listed. Include an individual cipher name or group of ciphers using the OpenSSL cipher list format. See the Mozilla TLS Recommended configurations for more information.

If not specified, any valid cipher suite is allowed. Requires Authentication Proxy version 2.12.0 or later.

factors

List of factors ordered by preference. Separate each factor name with a comma (','). The first of these factors supported by a user's configured devices will be used to authenticate that user, unless the user specifies which factor to use by appending the factor name to the password at login.

auto

Use the out-of-band factor ("push" or "phone") recommended by Duo as the best for the user's devices. This is the default.

push

Use Duo Push.

phone

Call the user's phone.

passcode

Send a RADIUS Access-Challenge message prompting the user to enter a passcode.

delimiter

Character (or string) which separates the primary authentication password from the Duo passcode or factor name. If a user's password contains this character, the Authentication Proxy will try interpreting it as an append-mode password, falling back to auto-factor selection if the part of the password before the delimiter is not valid for primary authentication.

This must be a character or string that can never appear within a Duo passcode or factor name. This generally means that punctuation marks are acceptable; alphanumeric characters are not.

Default: the delimiter character is a comma (',').

delimited_password_length

Permits appending a Duo factor or passcode to a user password without specifying a delimiter character, e.g. instead of password,123456 the user enters password123456. Requires Authentication Proxy 3.1.0.

To configure, set to a digit that represents the length of users' passwords. The Authentication Proxy will attempt to parse a specified authentication factor name or a passcode at the n+1 character. If a delimiter character is present, the proxy strips the delimiter and then parses the factor name or passcode (so password123456 and password,123456 would have the same result). In the prior example, you would set delimited_password_length=8 to parse the passcode beginning with the ninth character. All user passwords must be the same length as the number of characters specified in this setting to avoid truncation.

pass_through_attr_names

A comma separated list of RADIUS attribute names which, if sent to the Authentication Proxy from the peer, will be passed through to the primary RADIUS server. The attribute must exist in the Authentication Proxy's RADIUS dictionary. The dictionary includes standard RADIUS attributes, as well as some vendor specific attributes from Cisco, Juniper, Microsoft, and Palo Alto. If it is not known whether the dictionary includes the specific RADIUS attribute you wish to send, use pass_through_all instead. Only valid when used with radius_client.

Example:

NAS-Identifier,Calling-Station-Id

Default: No attributes passed through

pass_through_all

If this option is set to true all RADIUS attributes the proxy receives in a request will be copied into requests sent to RADIUS primary authentication servers. Only valid when used with radius_client.

Default: false

client_ip_attr

When authenticating, the proxy sends the value of the RADIUS calling-station-id to Duo and to the upstream primary authenticator as the client IP address.

Send the value of another RADIUS attribute as the client IP address by setting this option to the desired RADIUS attribute. The attribute must exist in the Authentication Proxy's RADIUS dictionary; defining an attribute that does not exist in the dictionary prevents proxy service startup. The dictionary includes standard RADIUS attributes, as well as some vendor specific attributes from Cisco, Juniper, Microsoft, and Palo Alto.

For example, to send the value of the NAS-IP-Address as the client IP, specify client_ip_attr=NAS-IP-Address.

pw_codec

The default encoding for RADIUS is UTF-8. If Latin-1 is required, set to latin-1.

A completed config file, using Active Directory as the primary authenticator, should look something like:

[ad_client]
host=1.2.3.4
service_account_username=duoservice
service_account_password=password1
search_dn=DC=example,DC=com
 
[radius_server_eap]
ikey=DIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
skey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
api_host=api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com
failmode=safe
client=ad_client
radius_ip_1=5.6.7.8
radius_secret_1=radiussecret1
port=1812
certs=server_cert.pem
pkey=server.key

Make sure to save your configuration file in your text editor — or validate and save in the Proxy Manager for Windows — when you're finished making changes.

Note

View video guides for proxy deployment at the Authentication Proxy Overview or see the Authentication Proxy Reference for additional configuration options.

Start the Proxy

If you installed the Duo Authentication Proxy Manager utility (available with 5.6.0 and later), click the Start Service button at the top of the Proxy Manager window to start the service.

To start the service from the command line, open an Administrator command prompt and run:

net start DuoAuthProxy

Alternatively, open the Windows Services console (services.msc), locate "Duo Security Authentication Proxy Service" in the list of services, and click the Start Service button.

Authentication Proxy v5.1.0 and later includes the authproxyctl executable, which shows the connectivity tool output when starting the service. The installer adds the Authentication Proxy C:\Program Files\Duo Security Authentication Proxy\bin to your system path automatically, so you should not need to specify the full path to authproxyctl to run it.

From an administrator command prompt run:

authproxyctl start

If the service starts successfully, Authentication Proxy service output is written to the authproxy.log file, which can be found in the log subdirectory.

If you see an error saying that the "service could not be started", open the Application Event Viewer and look for an Error from the source "DuoAuthProxy". The traceback may include a "ConfigError" that can help you find the source of the issue.

Stop and restart the Authentication Proxy service by either clicking the Restart Service button in the Duo Authentication Proxy Manager or the Windows Services console or issuing these commands from an Administrator command prompt:

net stop DuoAuthProxy & net start DuoAuthProxy

To stop and restart the Authentication Proxy using authproxyctl, from an administrator command prompt run:

authproxyctl restart

Open a root shell and run:

# /opt/duoauthproxy/bin/authproxyctl start

To ensure the proxy started successfully, run:

# /opt/duoauthproxy/bin/authproxyctl status

Authentication Proxy service output is written to the authproxy.log file, which can be found in the log subdirectory.

To stop and restart the Authentication Proxy, open a root shell and run:

# /opt/duoauthproxy/bin/authproxyctl restart

If you modify your authproxy.cfg configuration after initial setup, you'll need to stop and restart the Duo Authentication Proxy service or process for your change to take effect.

You can view information about your Authentication Proxy in the Authentication Proxy Dashboard.

Configure NetMotion Mobility Server

Set User Authentication Protocol to RADIUS EAP

  1. Log in to the Mobility administrative interface.

  2. Under the Configure tab, navigate to Authentication Settings.

  3. Choose the AuthenticationProtocol setting.

  4. Select RADIUS - EAP (PEAP and EAP-TLS).

  5. Click Apply.

Set RADIUS Retransmit Interval

  1. Click the RADIUS: Device AuthenticationRetransmit Interval setting.

  2. Enter an interval long enough for a user's mobile device to receive and respond to Duo authentication requests. Recommended: at least 40000 milliseconds. If Mobility retransmits an authentication request while the Duo Authentication Proxy is waiting for the second factor it will be detected as an attempt to replay a login already in progress and rejected.

    Device RADIUS Retransmit Interval
  3. Click Apply.

  4. Click the RADIUS: User AuthenticationRetransmit Interval setting.

  5. Change this to the same value you used for the RADIUS: Device AuthenticationRetransmit Interval setting Recommended: at least 40000 milliseconds.

Test Your Setup

  1. Launch the Mobility client and log in with your username and password as you normally would.

    Mobility Client Primary Credentials
  2. Next, enter your Duo passcode or an out-of-band factor into the following prompt and click OK. You may choose from the following factor names:

    Factor Description
    push Perform Duo Push authentication
    You can use Duo Push if you've installed Duo Mobile and activated your account.
    phone Perform phone callback authentication
    sms Send a new batch of SMS passcodes
    You will need to disconnect the Mobility client after receiving the passcodes, and then and connect again, When prompted to enter your Duo factor, use one of the newly-delivered passcodes. Depending on your Mobility client configuration, you may or may not need to reenter your primary login information on the second connection.

    If you have more than one device of any type registered it's identified by the appended number. For example, push2 will send a login request to your second phone, phone3 will call your third phone, etc.

    Mobility Client Duo Challenge
  3. Duo will send you a push request, phone call, or SMS message and log you in after you've approved the login request or entered a valid passcode.
