Overview

This Recommended Read describes how to configure Sophos Connect Client login using SSL VPN MFA instead of the normal setup of Password + OTP. 

Sophos Connect Provisioning file

It's possible to turn on separate input for MFA/OTP in the case of SSLVPN using the Sophos Connect Cient and Sophos Connect provisioning file (pro).

Below is the configuration:

 

Sample .pro file:

[

    { 

        "gateway": "<Enter your gateway hostname or IP address>",

        "user_portal_port": 443,

        "otp": true,

        "2fa": 1,

        "can_save_credentials": true

     }

]

Step1: Sophos Connect Client 1st Login

You’ll be asked for a Username/Password/ OTP (3rd separate input box). Click the checkbox for saving username/password. 

 

Step2: Logging next time in Sophos Connect Client

As username and password are saved, it’ll prompt only for OTP.
