Instructions
Why does MFA require RSA unrestricted authentication agent access?
- Unrestricted access allows the authentication agent to perform all necessary operations without limitations, ensuring integration between the PowerProtect DD and RSA SecurID
- RADIUS inherently supports several security features
- RADIUS encrypts the username and password during transmission
- RADIUS provides a flexible and scalable authentication framework.
- It can handle many users and devices, making it the best option for enterprise environments.
- Standard is a local authentication or a simpler authentication mechanism for hard coded user accounts on the DD itself or a less secure protocol like Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) without additional security features.
