Token Based MFA for WSM

BernieBernie
in Firebox - Management Software

I'm looking to harden the system management access to our firewalls and VPN but our company security policies do not allow cell phones to be used for company uses, and specifically security access. Not to mention the policy against using cloud based apps, hahaha.

Is there a way to use hardware tokens for MFA with WSM?

Thank you!

    Hi @Bernie
    At this time, WSM will only work via push, so OTPs don't work. The offline nature of how WSM's policy manager pulls/pushes information makes OTP difficult to implement.

    Improvements are being made to potentially allow this to work in the future.

    If you require OTP based auth for managing the firewall, managing your device via WatchGuard Cloud can do this now.

    James, thank you for the quick reply.

    Sadly, company security policy doesn't allow for a security protacal that is managed by an outside company, like WG Cloud. Hopefully an OTP solution will come out soon.
