WALLIX Authenticator adds a strong layer of identity verification, helping organizations secure access with multi-factor authentication while keeping user workflows simple and controlled.
What it does : WALLIX Authenticator provides multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure user access to systems, applications, and privileged sessions.
License type : Subscription-based (user-based)
Typical term : 1 year · 3 years · 5 years
Activation method : Online or offline activation via WALLIX Bastion license file
Who needs it : Organizations that want to strengthen access security by adding MFA, especially for privileged or sensitive systems
The WALLIX Authenticator license defines how multi-factor authentication is applied across your environment. Instead of relying only on passwords, it enables additional verification steps to confirm user identity before access is granted. In practice, licensing is typically based on the number of users who require MFA protection. This includes administrators, operators, and any users accessing critical systems. The license determines how many identities can be secured and how authentication workflows are enforced.
WALLIX Authenticator is usually integrated with the WALLIX Bastion platform, allowing MFA to be applied directly to privileged access sessions. This ensures that authentication is part of the overall access control process rather than a separate layer. Getting the license scope right is important. If the license is too limited, not all users can be protected. If it’s oversized, it may increase cost without additional benefit. A properly aligned license ensures that MFA coverage matches your security requirements.
WALLIX Authenticator is designed to strengthen how users prove their identity before accessing systems. Instead of relying only on a username and password, it adds an extra verification step.
In real environments, this usually means users receive a one-time code, push notification, or mobile-based authentication request when they try to log in. This ensures that even if credentials are compromised, access is still protected.
One of the main advantages is flexibility. Organizations can choose different authentication methods depending on their security policies and user experience requirements.
When combined with WALLIX Bastion, WALLIX Authenticator becomes part of a broader privileged access strategy, ensuring that both identity verification and session control are handled together.
WALLIX Authenticator helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access by adding an extra layer of identity verification. Even if passwords are compromised, access is still protected through additional authentication steps. One of the key benefits is improved security without major complexity. Users can authenticate using familiar methods like mobile apps or one-time codes, making adoption easier. It also integrates well with existing access workflows. When used with WALLIX Bastion, MFA becomes part of the overall access control process, ensuring consistent enforcement across all sessions. Over time, this helps organizations strengthen their security posture while maintaining a manageable user experience.
Activating WALLIX Authenticator is typically done as part of the WALLIX Bastion licensing process, since MFA capabilities are enabled through the Bastion platform.
After the Bastion system is installed, it generates a context file that includes details about your deployment. This file is submitted through the WALLIX licensing portal or support channel. WALLIX then provides a signed license file specific to your environment. Once this file is uploaded into the Bastion interface, the Authenticator features become available.
At this stage, administrators can configure authentication methods, assign MFA policies to users, and integrate with identity systems if needed. This activation workflow works for both connected and air-gapped environments. In isolated setups, the context and license files can be transferred securely without requiring direct internet access. After activation, it’s important to verify that user coverage and authentication policies match the licensed capacity. This ensures that all users are properly protected and that authentication workflows operate as expected.
WALLIX Authenticator pricing is mainly based on the number of users requiring multi-factor authentication. The more users included, the larger the license scope. Additional factors, such as integration with Bastion, authentication methods, and deployment complexity, can also influence pricing. Environments with strict compliance or offline activation requirements may need more tailored configurations. Subscription length plays a role as well, with longer terms often offering better value. The most accurate pricing comes from aligning the license with your actual user base and authentication requirements.
It adds a second layer of verification, ensuring that users must confirm their identity beyond just a password.
Yes, it is commonly integrated with Bastion to secure privileged access sessions with MFA.
It typically supports methods like one-time passwords (OTP), mobile-based authentication, and push notifications.
Key factors include the number of users, authentication methods, integration requirements, and overall security policies.
