# Enterprise Connect Windows RADIUS proxy

Enterprise Connect brings the capability for a remote authentication dial-up service (RADIUS) proxy to be installed on a Windows machine using the RADIUS protocol.

The RADIUS proxy changes the local RADIUS call to a secured REST API call, allowing local RADIUS clients to connect to Ping Identity for authentication. In turn, the capability to use MFA is provided, allowing tools, such as a virtual private network (VPN), to be enhanced.

#### [Install Enterprise Connect Windows RADIUS proxy](prereqs.html)

Install and configure the Enterprise Connect Windows RADIUS proxy on a Windows machine(s).

#### [Configure Linux SSH to use Enterprise Connect Windows RADIUS proxy for MFA](configure-ssh-linux-pam.html)

Post installation of the Enterprise Connect Windows RADIUS proxy on a Windows machine(s), explore the use case of setting up MFA on SSH login with Linux machines.

The Ping Identity integration supports the following authentication methods using **PAP** (password authentication protocol):

* Push notifications (this is the preferred and **recommended** method) using the PingID mobile app.

* Time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP/OATH) using the PingID mobile app.

* Simple username and password credentials.

The subsections serve as the basis for installing the RADIUS proxy on a Windows machine.
