Other types of sessions Wi-Fi, VPN and IIS sessions are managed through NPS and IIS UserLock agents, which are installed on Windows servers. As these sessions are controlled by the Desktop agent installed locally on the machine, a network failure could prevent the agent from communicating with the UserLock server and therefore allow a logon to take place.

This setting applies uniquely to interactive sessions. This option will deny logons without network connection. The following table will apply after at least one user has logged onto the machine within the corporate network. This setting is global, so depending on the scenarios listed below, the end user will have to enter an MFA code, logon without MFA or their logon will be denied.įor MFA to work for logons without network connection, the desktop agent must be already installed on the client machine that is without network connection, and the user must have authenticated at least once on that machine with MFA within the corporate network.Īs long as users have not performed a connection to a machine within the corporate network, then all connections are accepted.

This table explains how the “Ask for MFA” setting in the server properties behaves in the following scenarios. The connection will be allowed if the user already connected to the machine while on the network and with the agent (10.2 or higher) installed. This will apply to users who are already enrolled in MFA. MFA can be enforced for logons without network connection by selecting the option “Ask for MFA”. Users will be able to login despite their machine being without network connection. Always allow connectionsīy default this option is selected. This setting applies if an interactive logon, unlock or reconnect event occurs on a computer where the Desktop UserLock Agent is installed (whether the “ApplyRestrictionsOnUnlock” advanced setting is enabled or disabled). It is possible to manage logons without network connection by accessing the server properties of the Userlock console in order to achieve one of the following settings: For further information please refer to What happens if the UserLock Primary server is down? All session events will be logged locally on machines, and communicated back to the server once communication is restored. If the prerequisites are not met between the agent and the service.īy default, for these connections UserLock will not enforce any restrictions.
