Enabling two-factor authentication with SMS2 (free) and NetScaler Gateway

In this post we are going to see something fabulous, let's see how to enable 2FA or two-factor authentication in NetScaler Gateway, forcing users to use an additional Token for corporate access to the organization. We will use SMS2 which is a free tool, which through RADIUS will validate the user tokens, we'll use software tokens using the Google Authenticator app on mobile, A blast!

Integrating vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 and its ESXi hosts in Active Directory

In this post we will be able to see how to configure authentication against our Active Directory in the VMware vSphere virtual platform. We'll enable it on the vCenter Server Appliance and ESXi hosts, so that you can assign access permissions to Active Directory users or groups. And so instead of using the default credentials (As we do wrongly); each employee will use their DA account, with the privileges that he should have, It will also be useful to see 'Who does what'.

Two-factor authentication in Citrix with PINsafe and NetScaler

In this document we will look at the deployment of Swivel Secure's great PINsafe product, where we will force users who work against our Citrix platform to have a double authentication and validate themselves with their Active Directory authentication in addition to entering an OTC code based on their PIN so that they cannot access our platform before a keylogger and try to secure the accesses more!!

Associating the DNIe with Active Directory users and authenticating with SmartCard

In this document we will see how we can associate the digital certificates of the DNIe with SmartID (Electronic ID card) with the user accounts in our Active Directory, It is ideal for authenticating our employees without a username and password, of course, we can later associate it with the rest of the services we need, if we have access via the web, Citrix… we'd just need a card reader on each piece of equipment and you're good to go, It could even be used to put a device at the front door in the office to validate physical entry, Time Management… all through smart card-based authentication.

Installing and configuring WiKID to access the Citrix Web Interface with a token (Software!)

Complete document this, we will see the installation and configuration of WiKID for two-factor authentication with a software token instead of traditional hardware ones (SoftToken) against a Web Interface 5.3 from Citrix. To do this,, first we will install and configure WiKID that through an LDAP connection will connect to our Active Directory and authenticate the tokens in the Web Interface with RADIUS, assign/configure the token against a user in our domain and open a Citrix session. WiKID is a paid product but has a very low price, Logically, we can use this document to configure other services by tokenizing.
