To enable PingID for VPN, use PingFederate Bridge and the PingOne for Enterprise admin portal. This secures your VPN with multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is used to ensure that digital users are who they say they are by requiring that they provide at least two pieces of evidence to prove their identity. Each piece of evidence must come from a different category: something they know, something they have, or something they are. Ping Identity provides a number of products and methods for configuring MFA.

This use case shows you how to use PingFederate to issue a token to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to authenticate an end-user for API access.
