Introduction

It's possible to configure MFA for AVD. This can be done via a Conditional Access policy in Microsoft Entra ID (previously called Azure AD).


Configuration

  1. Under 'Cloud apps or actions', include the following apps:

    • Workspace SSO App registration

    • AVD app

  2. You can always exclude certain apps from this Conditional Access policy, or assign specific users and/or groups to the policy.

  4. Make sure 'Browser' and 'Mobile apps and desktop clients' are selected.

  5. Click Done.

  7. You may configure the 'Sign-in frequency', this defines the time period before a user is asked to sign in again when attempting to access a resource.

  8. When you're done defining this policy, enable it by choosing 'On'.

  9. Click Create.
