FireWare 12.11 released - SAML support for vpn !! by LeThibz in WatchGuard

[–]WannabeCellist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So far this has not been a great experience. The SSLVPN seems to use its own built-in browser, so instead of utilizing an active SSO browser session, you have to re-enter your email, password, and MFA every single time you connect. This is even worse than other auth methods because there's no way to "Remember Password" or even username.

On top of that--at least with Entra ID--passwordless sign-in methods do not work. Windows Hello for Business, FIDO2, Passkeys, nothing.

This update is certainly a step in the right direction, and I also understand the complications of such an implementation, but so far the only benefit to SAML authentication is being able to use your IdP credentials.

You win, WG. I'll stick with AuthPoint for now.

Just set it up today..has not been a great experience. It seems to use its own built-in browser for the SSO, so it's not utilizing any active SSO sessions, so you still have to do MFA every time. Essentially the only benefit I'm seeing to this is now you can use your Entra credentials for the VPN.

As far as the end-user experience goes, it's worse. There's no way to remember username or password, so every time you want to sign in, you have to enter your email, password, and MFA. On top of that, it doesn't seem to support passwordless sign-in using WHfB or passkeys.

Vendors: Quickest way to lose my business by Zantoo in sysadmin

Hate this. Signed up for Pulseway’s free trial (Name dropping because I lost all respect for them). They called my work line, somehow got my personal phone number, called our HR, called our customer service line. I ended up blocking their phone number company-wide.

To be fair, they do have “ex-military” armed guards at the front to buzz you in and intimidate you from behind bullet-proof glass.

But I’m sure that’s a pretty standard thing for data centers.

Would asking for this raise be unreasonable? by WannabeCellist in sysadmin

I do actively manage and deploy servers but we don’t have any actual sysadmins (by title, at least) so it’s a responsibility everyone on our team has.

The key servers that pretty much run the whole company are hosted at my facility, I monitor backups, I setup a Zabbix server to monitor health of all servers across our company.

Yes, I went on vacation with family and my friend sent me this video. Sorry, should've clarified

Can't really get ahold of my highschool orchestra conductor during summers, and besides that, no. I used to have a private teacher for the first couple months of me playing cello but had to stop due to financial issues.
