Síntomas

Does NetWorker support Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multifactor Authentication (MFA)?

Causa

NetWorker does not support Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for Active Directory/LDAP Users.

Resolución

Multi-Factor Authentication can be enabled only for local NetWorker User accounts for NetWorker 19.12.x (and later). 
MFA is supported using Google Authenticator 6.0 (and later) application only.

NOTE: A "local NetWorker user" is a user account that is created in the NetWorker authentication (AUTHC) database. For example, this user is created either from the NetWorker Management Console (NMC), under Setup-> Users and Roles -> Users; or in the NetWorker Web User Interface (NWUI), under Authentication Server -> Users. MFA can only be enabled for local accounts that have "User" permissions only. It is not applicable for "Administrator" level users.

The process for configuring MFA for local NetWorker accounts is detailed in the NetWorker Security Configuration Guide, available through: https://www.dell.com/support/home/product-support/product/networker/docs (You must sign in with your Dell support account)

In order to add support for external (AD/LDAP) MFA, a Request For Enhancement (RFE) is required. Contact your Dell sales account representative regarding submitting a RFE.
