Integrating multifactor authentication is essential for providing the highest level of security and assurance for DirectAccess clients. Smart cards work well for this, but they impose a heavy burden in terms of expense and administrative overhead. A more effective alternative is to use a One-Time Password (OTP) solution such as PointSharp ID.
To learn more about the PointSharp ID OTP solution and how it integrates with DirectAccess, join me for a live webinar on Tuesday, July 27, 2106 at 10:00AM PDT where I’ll discuss the following topics.
- What DirectAccess security risks can be mitigated with OTP?
- What are the supporting infrastructure requirements for OTP authentication?
- How to integrate the PointSharp IP solution with DirectAccess

Windows 10 clients include full support for all enterprise DirectAccess scalability and redundancy features, including automatic site selection and transparent failover for multisite deployments. However, the native site selection process is limited in functionality and often yields unexpected results.
DirectAccess and Windows 10 are much better together. Windows 10 includes full support for all of the important enterprise features of DirectAccess in Windows Server 2012 R2, including geographic redundancy, transparent site selection, and IP-HTTPS performance improvements. The Kemp LoadMaster load balancer can be used to extend and enhance the native high availability features of DirectAccess, and it can be used to reduce supporting infrastructure requirements.
