Q

Can Amazon WorkDocs Drive admins enable Multi-Factor Authentication with Amazon WorkDocs Drive?

Managing, Locking, and Unlocking Files

Amazon WorkDocs | Business Productivity

A

Yes, Amazon WorkDocs Drive supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) using Microsoft Active Directory. Enabling MFA requires users to implement one-time passcodes (OTP) for use with their Active Directory (AD) username and password. You can connect Microsoft AD to your existing Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)”“based MFA solution. RADIUS is an industry-standard protocol that authenticates and authorizes network access securely. To enable MFA with Microsoft AD, the customer’s RADIUS server must support OTP-style MFA or have a plug-in that does so. Microsoft AD supports both virtual and hardware MFA OTP tokens.
