It’s linked in the documentation (of course) but for whatever reason, I just couldn’t see it.

The hardest part about this step was actually finding the binaries to install the agent. Install the Duo Authentication for Windows Logon on the target VM.Duo have about 125 applications they can add authentication features to, and their documentation for setup is very good. Choose to add MFA to ‘ Microsoft RDP’.My jump box is a stand-alone server, so the account in Duo matches the username of an account local to the VM Add a user account to Duo that matches the account on the jump box.Duo gives you 490 ‘Telephone credits’, but you’ll need to add a credit card to purchase more. Install the Duo Mobile app on your phone to enable MFA prompts as phone calls and SMSs are not free. A Duo account is free - this provides you with a control panel used to add Duo support for multiple applications. Signing up for Duo and adding MFA to a Windows Server VM running in Azure is a simple process: Duo are an identity provider including MFA who have a a free version that gives you two-factor authentication for up to 10 users. So I went looking for a more cost effective way of securing remote access to cloud environments - something that’s light weight, runs on a single VM and ideally wouldn’t require additional licensing.įellow CTP and all round knowledgeable guy, Jarian Gibson recommended checking out Duo. The issue there is that it requires deploying more complexity than necessary for a jump box and likely extra licensing for the RD Gateway role. In most Azure environments I’ve deployed, the customer is licensing Azure AD Premium which we could integrate with RD Gateway and RD Web Access for securing authentication to the jump box via the Azure MFA Server.
Keep source IP rulesets if you want, but add MFA to ensure that even if a user’s password is compromised, additional authentication information is always enforced. One of the best ways to protection authentication to a remote Windows box is via multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Often access to the jump box will be restricted by source IP, but that approach isn’t completely secure for many reasons - admins don’t update the rules, source IP doesn’t identify the user etc. Deploying a jump box into a cloud environment such as Azure or AWS, is a common way of providing access into said environment through a single entry point.
