It’s Your VPN – Use the Auth System You Want

Use local, external, TOTP, custom – even multiple – authentication systems.
Access Server makes it easy to configure authentication that meets your – and users’ – needs. Have an existing directory service? Configure support for an external authentication system.
Get unmatched flexibility and compatibility with the top authentication systems
Identity verification is critical to securing your network. With Access Server you can use the authentication system – or systems – you prefer.
Local Authentication
By default, Access Server uses local authentication and password hashes (SHA256) stored in the user properties database to verify credentials during login.
PAM Authentication
Manage PAM authentication on your server, using local user accounts in the operating system where Access Server is installed, or on a separate server reachable by Access Server.
LDAP Authentication
Use the Access Server Admin UI to provide more secure authentication for your users and one source of truth for user management through integration with LDAP authentication services.
RADIUS Authentication
Enable RADIUS authentication (PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP v2 supported), accounting reports, and case-sensitive matching with the toggles in the RADIUS settings section of Access Server.
SAML Authentication
When you enable SAML authentication on Access Server users get a single sign-on (SSO) experience that uses IdP credentials instead of Access Server-specific credentials.
Custom Authentication
You can write custom Python3 code, using post_auth scripts, to load into the Access Server post_auth programming hook as a supplemental or replacement authentication system.
Simultaneous Auth Systems
Access Server lets you use multiple authentication systems simultaneously, so you can define one default system and optionally configure other systems by group or user.
TOTP Multi-factor Authentication
Add another layer of security with multi-factor authentication (MFA) using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), an industry-standard way to store a secret key on a user device.
Certificates and Private Keys
On top of user-credential authentication, Access Server also uses private keys and public certificates to verify client and server identity.
