Learn how Rublon MFA can secure your legacy applications by adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) to Windows Logon and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access—without modifying the legacy software itself. By installing Rublon MFA on the Windows server hosting your legacy applications, you ensure that only authorized users can access these critical systems, even if they lack support for modern security protocols like RADIUS, SAML, or LDAP.
Scenario
A company relies on several old or legacy applications that are essential for its business operations. These applications are no longer compatible with modern security protocols such as RADIUS, SAML, or LDAP, and cannot be easily integrated with new security solutions.
Challenge
The company needs to secure access to these legacy applications and add multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect against unauthorized access, without making extensive changes to the applications themselves.
Solution
The company installs the legacy applications on a Windows endpoint, e.g., a Virtual Machine with a Windows Server operating system that employees can access remotely. Then, the company protects remote access to this machine using the Rublon MFA for Windows Logon and RDP connector. This setup ensures that any remote access to the machine hosting the legacy applications requires MFA.
Benefits
By implementing Rublon MFA for Windows Logon and RDP, the company ensures that only authorized users can access the Windows machine and the legacy applications hosted on it. Even if an attacker compromises a user’s password, they would still need to pass the additional MFA verification to gain access. This approach secures the legacy applications with MFA without requiring modifications to the applications themselves, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for enhancing security.
