Works Natively with AD

AuthNull MFA works natively with on-premise Active Directory without having to sync and authenticate against a separate identity infrastructure — authenticate Windows or AD-connected Linux hosts directly on the AD infrastructure.

Use On-Prem AD without account syncing
AuthNull can directly authenticate your Windows endpoints against Active Directory without the need to sync accounts.
Agents and Agentless MFA Support
AuthNull supports both agent and agentless MFA for Windows endpoints, giving you full deployment flexibility.

LINUX + AD / LOCAL ACCOUNTS

MFA for Linux + AD or Local Accounts

Drop-in PAM module replaces passwords with biometric MFA on every Linux box. SSH sessions are recorded, scoped, and time-bound by policy.

Active Directory Passwordless 1FA or MFA
AuthNull enables Active Directory lookup for Passwordless 1FA or MFA on Linux machines.
Local user Passwordless 1FA or MFA with Breakglass support
AuthNull provides support for local user passwordless 1FA or MFA with Breakglass support for emergency access.

RADIUS / TACACS+

MFA for Radius / TACACS+ Authentication

AuthNull works with Radius – 802.1x and TACACS+ Authentication out of the box, securing VPN, WiFi, and network device access with a lightweight bridge — no infrastructure changes required.

Works with Radius – 802.1x / TACACS+ out of the box
AuthNull works with Radius – 802.1x / TACACS+ Authentication without complex infrastructure changes.
Uses a Radius Bridge
AuthNull uses a Radius Bridge to introduce MFA against Radius servers, making deployment fast and non-disruptive.

AGENT / AGENTLESS

Agent and Agentless MFA for Active Directory

For Active Directory, AuthNull supports both agent and agentless MFA — giving security teams the flexibility to deploy without touching every endpoint.

Agentless
Does not need any client-side installs on endpoints or devices. MFA is enforced at the network and protocol layer.
Agent-based — how does this work?
Uses Windows custom authenticators / log on providers to deliver MFA. For Linux, custom PAM modules handle enforcement.

DATABASE MFA

Database MFA

AuthNull uses a database proxy to deliver MFA to the database — protecting analyst access, privileged users, and AI agents from unauthorized queries.

Supports open source databases
Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB out of the box with a lightweight proxy requiring no application changes.
How does this work?
AuthNull uses a database proxy to deliver MFA. Ideal for scoped read-only access to analysts and blocking unmanaged AI agents.
