Prior to configuring F5 BIG-IP for two-factor authentication, you must have the DualShield Authentication Server and DualShield Radius Server installed and operating. For the installation, configuration and administration of DualShield Authentication and Radius servers please refer to the following documents:

You also need to have a RADIUS application created in the DualShield authentication server. The application will be used for the two-factor authentication in F5 BIG-IP. The document below provides general instructions for RADIUS authentication with the DualShield Radius Server:

VPN & RADIUS - Administration Guide

Following outlines the key steps:

In DualShield

  1. Create a logon procedure for RADIUS authentication
  2. Create an RADIUS application for F5 BIG-IP
  3. Register the F5 BIG-IP as a RADIUS client

In F5 BIG-IP

  1. Register the DualShield RADIUS authentication server

You can use the Application Wizard in the DualShield Console to create an application and all its dependencies including the logon procedure, or you can create application and logon procedure individually as described below. The “DualShield Authentication Platform - Quick Start Guide” document describes how to use the ApplicationWizard in details.
