After deploying a single Remote Access server, plan for the one-time password (OTP) authentication server.

Task

Description

2.1 Plan the RADIUS server

For the OTP authentication server, Remote Access in Windows Server 2012 supports any RADIUS-enabled OTP server that supports the password authentication protocol (PAP).

2.1 Plan the RADIUS server

Note the following when planning a RADIUS server for OTP authentication:

  • For most types of OTP deployments, you must configure the Remote Access server as a RADIUS agent. For more information, see the OTP vendor documentation.

  • For all OTP deployments, you must synchronize your Active Directory users with your RADIUS server.

  • The RADIUS server does not need to be a domain member.

  • When you deploy the RADIUS server, you configure a shared secret and the port number for RADIUS traffic. Make a note of these details; they are required when you configure the Remote Access server.

You can view an example test lab guide that sets up OTP authentication with an RSA SecurID server in Test Lab Guide: Demonstrate DirectAccess with OTP Authentication and RSA SecurID.
