Duo Trusted Endpoints - Workspace ONE Managed Device Deployment

Last updated:

Certificate-based Trusted Endpoint verification for Workspace ONE/AirWatch reached end-of-life on October 7, 2024. Duo device certificates will no longer renew after October 2024. Migrate existing iOS Certificate Configuration management integrations to iOS with App Config Configuration. Learn more about the end-of-life timeline and migration options in the Duo Trusted Endpoints Certificate Migration Guide.

Overview

Duo's Trusted Endpoints feature secures your sensitive applications by ensuring that only known devices can access Duo protected services. When a user authenticates via the Duo Prompt, we'll check for the access device's management status. You can monitor access to your applications from trusted and untrusted devices, and optionally block access from devices not trusted by your organization.

Trusted Endpoints is part of the Duo Essentials, Duo Advantage, and Duo Premier plans.

Before enabling the Trusted Endpoints policy on your applications, you'll need to allow REST API access for Duo to your managed mobile devices, or deploy Duo Desktop to Windows and macOS managed systems and sync identifiers for those systems from Workspace ONE into Duo.

This guide walks you through Workspace ONE configuration for Windows and macOS endpoint clients and Android and iOS mobile devices.

Mobile Trusted Endpoints and Verified Duo Push: Trusted endpoint verification of iOS and Android devices with Duo Mobile uses the standard Duo Push approval process and will not prompt for a Duo Push verification code, even if the effective authentication methods policy for the user and application has "Verified Duo Push" enabled.

Requirements

  • Access to the Duo Admin Panel as an administrator with the Owner, Administrator, or Application Manager administrative roles.
  • Access to the Workspace ONE Console as an administrator with the rights to create roles, accounts, and device profiles.
  • Directory Services enabled within the Workspace ONE Console with an account in the directory that will be used as an Admin Account within Workspace ONE.

Create a Duo Admin and API Key in Workspace ONE

Create a read-only API user and role and an API key in Workspace ONE for Duo to obtain managed endpoint information. Duo will use this account to synchronize your Windows device identifiers from Workspace ONE. The imported identifiers will be used to determine device trust when Windows devices access your protected applications.

You only need to do this once, and can then use the same Duo admin credentials and API key for each Workspace ONE management integration you configure in Duo, even if they are for different device operating systems.

Create an API Role for Duo

  1. Log in to the Workspace ONE console as an administrator and go to Accounts → Administrators → Roles.

  2. Click the Add Role button. Enter Duo API Role as the Name and add a Description for the new role on the "Create Role" page.

  3. Click on the "API" category on the left and then locate REST in the API category list. Check the box in the "Read" column to grant the new Duo API role read access to devices. Click Save to create the role.

    Create Duo API Role

Create a Duo Admin Account

Determine whether you plan to create an admin for Duo using an account synced from an external directory or a "Basic" (local) account before you begin.

We recommend using a directory account over a "Basic" account because Workspace ONE enforces password expiration for "Basic" user types every 30 days. While the password is expired, your Trusted Endpoint Integration with Workspace ONE will not work, and you will need to reset the password to restore functionality.

Use of a directory account is not subject to the 30-day password expiration.

  1. Navigate to Accounts → Administrators → List View in the Workspace ONE console.

  2. Click the Add button and choose Add Admin → Directory → Next on the pop-up menu.

  3. Enter the following information on the "Add Admin" form (for a Directory admin):

    Admin Type Directory
    Directory Name Default
    Domain Select the correct domain from the drop-down, if not already selected.
    Username Search for an account in your directory to use and click Select User.
    New Duo Directory Admin

  4. Click Next to go to the "Roles" tab.

  5. On the "Roles" tab, choose your Organization Group from the list presented. Locate and select the "Duo API Role" read-only role you created earlier in the Role list.

End of Life Information

New Workspace ONE certificate deployment management integrations may no longer be created as of October 2021, and reached end of life on October 7. 2024. Duo device certificates will no longer renew after October 2024. You must migrate your certificate-based iOS Workspace ONE/AirWatch integration to Workspace ONE with App Config. See the Duo Knowledge Base article Guide to updating Trusted Endpoints iOS integrations from certificates to AppConfig for more information about migrating your iOS certificate-based management integrations to App Config.

Use of the Duo Desktop for trust attestation provides several advantages over the use of device certificates:

  • It provides a more accurate assessment of your managed devices, and removes concerns about long-lived certificates present on devices no longer managed by your organization.
  • It extends support to Firefox users. Trusted Endpoint certificate detection only works with Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Internet Explorer (depending on the management system).
  • Improves trust detection for web browsers and thick client applications.

See the Duo Trusted Endpoints Certificate Migration Guide for more information.

Finish Trusted Endpoints Deployment

Once your Workspace ONE managed devices receive the Duo config you can set the Trusted Endpoints policy to start checking for managed device status as users authenticate to Duo-protected services and applications.

When your trusted endpoints policy is applied to your Duo applications, return to the Workspace ONE trusted endpoint management integration in the Admin Panel. The "Change Integration Status" section of the page shows the current integration status (disabled by default after creation). You can choose to either activate this management integration only for members of a specified test group, or activate for all users. If you created more than one Workspace ONE integration, you must activate each one individually.

Enable Trusted Endpoints Management Integration

Duo Premier and Duo Advantage plans: The Device Insight and Endpoints pages in the Duo Admin Panel show which access devices are trusted/managed.

Verify Your Setup

iOS App Config and Android

Users with Duo Mobile installed and activated for Duo Push on Android and iOS devices see a device trust dialog when authenticating to a protected resource via the Duo Prompt.

iOS Trusted Endpoint Inline Verification - Step 1

Duo uses the API access you granted in Workspace ONE to perform a permissions check to verify device information.

iOS Trusted Endpoint Verification - Step 2

If Duo successfully verifies the device information using the Workspace ONE API access, and the user has Duo Mobile activated for Duo Push, then the user receives a login request on their phone.

iOS Trusted Endpoint Verification - Step 3

On Android devices, approving the request grants access and returns the user to the protected application. On iOS devices, after approving the Duo authentication request users tap the top-left of the Duo Mobile app to return to the application and complete login. The "Second Factor" logged for these approvals is shown as "Duo Mobile Inline Auth" in the Duo authentication log.

iOS Trusted Endpoint Verification - Step 4

If the user does not have Duo Mobile activated for push, or does not approve the Duo request before it times out, the user returns to the Duo Prompt, where they may select from the available factors to complete 2FA.

Windows and macOS with Duo Desktop

When Windows or macOS users access Duo-protected resources, Duo Desktop provides device information to Duo. If the information from the device matches the information in Workspace ONE, Duo grants access to the trusted device.

Search for Device Identifiers

If you configured Duo Desktop for Windows or macOS or Duo Mobile for iOS with App Config or Android to determine device trust, you may want to search for specific device identifiers to verify that the identifier information for a given trusted device exists in Duo. This can be useful to verify a device you expect to be trusted was imported from Workspace ONE into Duo.

To search for a device identifier in Duo:

  1. Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Trusted Endpoints.

  2. Locate the Workspace ONE, Workspace ONE with Duo Desktop, or Workspace ONE with App Config device management integration you want to search for a device identifier in the list and click on it to view its details.

  3. In the Check if devices have synced section, enter the identifier for the device you want to check and click Search.

  4. A message appears indicating if the device identifier was either found or not found. If the device identifier is not found, check your Workspace ONE API configuration and wait 24 hours.

Use these instructions to find the device identifier to search in Workspace ONE.

  1. Log in to the Workspace ONE administration panel, navigate to Devices → List View, and select a device to view.
  2. Under "List view", locate the "Device Info".
  3. The "UDID" is the device identifier. Copy this value and use it to perform the search in Duo.

Removing the Workspace ONE Management Integration

Be sure to unassign your trusted endpoints policy from all applications or remove the "Trusted Endpoints" configuration item from your global policy before deleting an existing Workspace ONE integration from "Trusted Endpoints Configuration". You should also disable your Duo admin user in Workspace ONE.

Leaving the policy settings in place after deleting a management tools integration may inadvertently block user access to applications.

Deleting a trusted endpoints management tool integration from the Duo Admin Panel immediately invalidates issued Duo device authentication certificates.
