As recommended, I’ve just turned on Verified Duo Push: But as I turned it on, I spotted the caveat that it needs Universal Prompt activated: AFAIK, RD Web is waiting on Duo and RD Gateway has no information about universal prompt. Does this mean th...

Several of my clients use Duo Authentication for Remote Desktop Gateway and Duo for Remote Desktop Web Access. They’ve all received the email about TLS 1.0 and 1.1 been depreciated and that they have devices still using these protocols. The email isn...

My client has one user who refuses to enable device locking on their personal mobile and therefore Duo won’t install. They’re currently set to bypass until this is resolved. Not an uncommon tale and the friction between a tiny minority and BYOD isn’t...

Whilst I’ve been in this game for many years as developer and support, I’m not 100% familiar with all the terminology. Is my understanding of the above correct? Protocols define how the client and server talk to each otherCiphers are the algorithms u...
