can authpoint be used with stand alone / local Pc's?

in AuthPoint - General

I'd like to add MFA to our Pc's but we do not have a server environment.

Can AuthPoint be utilized in a non-server, stand alone, local Pc environment?

I have read many of the documents and I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question. I keep seeing where a Gateway needs to be installed locally and there needs to be a user database to verify users and passwords. I have also read where you can add individual users on the AuthPoint Cloud.

I would like them to MFA to there Pc. Being a car dealer and the FTC making our regulations stiffer we need to get more protection without the huge expense.

We're currently using a Firebox M370 w/FW 12.8.2, WSM 12.9.0

Any input would be appreciated.

    Hi @bford
    AuthPoint can be used for local PCs, however, local users need to be created in AuthPoint that match the user accounts for it to work.

    From what I understand, the AuthPoint user name has to be the exact same as the Pc user name, correct?
