Dell ThinOS 2402 and 2405 Administrator’s Guide

Citrix two-factor authentication

ThinOS supports Citrix two-factor authentication that authenticates the identity of the user twice before granting access, adding an extra level of security.

For local authentication, there must be a user profile that is created in the Citrix ADC database. For external authentication, the username and password that is entered must be the same as registered in the authentication server. After a successful validation of the username and password, the user is requested for another level of authentication.

ThinOS supports LDAP, RSA+LDAP, SMS Passcode, DUO, OKTA, and Azure MFA authentications by default. The user must only provide the Citrix ADC gateway address.

To log in to NetScaler Gateway that uses LDAP with RSA authentication, you must select LDAP+RSA in the Wyse Management Suite policy. You can also go to Admin Policy Tool and configure the NetScaler/ADC Authentication Method option in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Settings window.

For specific users who want to use Citrix ADC authentication methods, such as RSA, Dell Technologies recommends that you configure the NetScaler/ADC Authentication Method with RSA either using the Wyse Management Suite policy or Admin Policy Tool.

For specific users who want to use Citrix ADC authentication methods, such as LDAP with MFA, Dell Technologies recommends that you configure the NetScaler/ADC Authentication Methodwith LDAP either using the Wyse Management Suite policy or the Admin Policy tool.

For specific users who want to use Citrix ADC authentication methods, such as RSA+LDAP with MFA, Dell Technologies recommends that you configure the NetScaler/ADC Authentication Method with RSA+LDAP either using the Wyse Management Suite policy or the Admin Policy tool. This setting is supported from Wyse Management Suite 3.5 and later versions.
