Policy mandates that 2FA is required whenever any person working from a remote location utilizes administrative credentials to access a server that is used to store or process confidential or Category I university data. This includes cases where an initial login is performed with non-administrative credentials and privileges are escalated after a session is established (e.g. via sudo or su).

This policy only covers users with administrative privileges. Users that who do not have administrative credentials to a server are not required to use 2FA to authenticate to that server via any service.

 

This page lists the acceptable 2FA options for remote access to university servers which store or process Category I data. Certain options may work better in specific environments than others - consult your local IT support staff for any implementation questions or issues. If you need to use a 2FA option not on this list, please contact us at security@utexas.edu.
