Hi Jean-Christophe,

 

HTTP Authentication will only validate credentials to an external web-based server. You can use this external web-based server to authenticate an user, but it will not necessarily be the service or application the user will be granted access to. With SSO HTTP, the authenticated credentials will be reused to login to the service or application.

 

So you can have two (or maybe more) scenarios:

 

1) Radius Auth performing 2FA (Username/Password auth and Token challenge) + HTTP SSO

2) Radius Auth performing 1FA (token auth) + HTTP Auth 1FA (username/password auth) + HTTP SSO

 

Kind regards,
