History

Servers:SAD-AUTH01 was built on 5/10/22 to replace a pre-documentation server SAD-SSO01, which ran Authentik. Authentik was a very good free and open source SSO solution that enabled internal users to authenticate to several internal services, such as Development:Gitlab on Servers:SAD-GIT01. However, MandolinSara and I decided it would be a good idea to get our multi-factor authentication services off premises in the event of an outage, a security threat, streamlined management and most important of all: easy two fact authentication for Windows and Linux servers. In addition, this enables us to protect certain consoles such as Disaster Recovery: VEEAM Backup & Replication, Microsoft System Center: Microsoft System Center, and Virtualization: VMware vCenter Server Appliance.

For Duo's price point and added benefit, it was a no brainier to migrate things to a proprietary external service. If Authentik ever receives this functionality, a test server should be spun up to determine if the business should migrate back.

Purpose

The following roles and features are running on this server:

Authentication: Microsoft Entra ID Connect

Authentication: Cisco DUO Application Proxy
