VPN SAML Implementation ~ Multiple Authentication Methods

Kevin_Taylor — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 17:49:45 GMT

Hello,

I'm in the beginning stages of implementing VPN clients for SAML against Azure AD. Is it plausible to implement this without breaking the current authentication method of username and password used today by our employees? I want to configure SAML and roll this out slowly to employees. I'm a little nervous doing so will break VPN connectivity.

Best..

I believe you should be able to do this by creating a second authentication realm and setting the relevant options.
