Run Multiple Authentication Methods Together, So Every User Has a Way In

CloudConnexa lets you run multiple authentication methods (SAML Single Sign-On and local username & password) side by side, with per-user control over who uses what. Keep employees on SSO, onboard contractors without adding them to your SSO directory, and keep everyone connected even when your identity provider is unavailable.

Your workforce isn't one-size-fits-all — your VPN authentication shouldn't be either

Managing VPN access across a mix of employees, contractors, and external partners gets complicated fast, especially when you're limited to a single authentication method. Some teams run on SSO and others on local credentials, and many need both. Contractors and partners often don't belong in your corporate directory, and if your identity provider ever goes down, users still need a way to stay connected.

With CloudConnexa, you can run both SAML SSO and local credentials at the same time, so every user gets the right way in.

Flexible authentication that rolls out on your terms.

You turn each method on or off per user, and it takes effect the first time they sign in with it, so you can expand access without resetting passwords or disrupting anyone already connected.

Guided configuration

Migrate to SAML on your own timeline

Run both methods in parallel and move users to SSO one at a time, then retire local credentials once everyone is across. No hard cutover and no maintenance window.

Icon user plus

Onboard external users without your directory

Give external users who don't belong in your IdP their own local CloudConnexa credentials, all managed alongside your SSO users in the same account.

Icon Double Avatar

Preserve user continuity when adding SAML

Existing users, groups, and access configurations carry over when SAML is introduced — no disruption, no reassignment.

Icon Extranet

Your VPN stays online when your IdP doesn't

Enable local Username & Password alongside SAML, and an identity provider outage no longer locks users out. Anyone with local credentials keeps connecting until SSO is back.

application

Give every user the right way to sign in

Authentication is a per-user setting, so you can assign SAML SSO, local credentials, or both to each person individually, instead of applying one method to your entire account.

    Easy to configure options, add users, and that it has two factor authentication built in. You can configure the system to allow connections on common ports so that you're able to connect from pretty much anywhere in the world.
