Verify MFA for RDP sessions
Use these steps to verify the end-user sign-in process for the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP):
- Sign in to a machine that has the RDP client installed. Be sure that this machine can connect to the server into which you want to make a remote connection.
- Enter the name for the RDP client, your username, and password. Click Connect.
- In the RDP sign-in page that opens, sign in as the user that has the Microsoft RDP (MFA) application assigned in Okta. Note:
In both cases, the value for the username must match the username that was used when the app was assigned in Okta.
- All users, including those that set up MFA in the preceding step, are prompted to choose the MFA factor to use for authentication.
- After providing the second factor, verify the RDP connection to the Windows server. If you can't sign in, see the Troubleshooting.
