Extended Authentication

The authentication method section enables you to set requirements for use of One-Time Passwords or RADIUS Integration.

Requiring use of One-Time Passwords will force users to generate a list of One-Time Passwords and enter a One-Time Password after their access code each time they connect to a host PC.

Use of RADIUS will require that your organization already have RADIUS security system with RADIUS server support installed and operational. Requiring use of RADIUS will also require configuration on users’ host PCs to ensure authentication between host PC and RADIUS systems. Use of One-Time Passwords will force users to enter their RADIUS PASSCODE (PIN and tokencode) after the host PC access code each time the connect to a host PC.

 

Note: RADIUS and One-Time Passwords is not available for PCs with the Shared Access feature.

 

Note: RADIUS Integration is only available with the purchase of GoToMyPC Corporate Plus. GoToMyPC Corporate officially supports RSA SecurID as a third-party provider of an industry-recognized two-factor authentication method. Other third-party providers may integrate but have not been tested.

 

 To set authentication method requirements for a group or subgroup:

  1. Click the Manage Groups link in the left navigation bar.

  2. For groups: Click the name of the group.

For subgroups: Click on the arrow to the left of the group to view its subgroups, then click the name of the subgroup.

  1. On the Group Administration page in the Group Settings section, click the link for Authentication Method.

  2. On the Authentication Method page, select or deselect the method you want to require.

Note: To enable RADIUS from the host PC, select the check box to “Show RADIUS configuration in GoToMyPC preferences.” Once the host PC has been configured, you can return to the Administration Center and deselect this feature so users cannot change settings. Disabling RADIUS in the Administration Center does not disable the feature at a user’s host PC. Users will still need to manually disable RADIUS from their Preferences Menu Authentication tab.

  1. Click Save Settings.

You will then have to enter that information into the user’s PC file in your GoToMyPC Corporate Administration Center before the user can use that computer with GoToMyPC.
