Settings Duo Security for Veeam Integration
Access your Duo Security administrative console log-in. Under “Applications,” choose “Protect an Application.” Search among the choices for Veeam Backup & Replication and click on it. The integration key, secret key, and API hostname—credentials required to link Duo with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager—will be sent to you.
Configure Duo Authentication Portal
Typically found to access the configuration file on the server you installed the Duo Authentication Proxy on. In this configuration file, you will need to enter the API hostname, integration key, and secret key from Duo Security. Make sure that the proxy answers Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager’s authentication requests.
Strengthening the security of your backup system is best accomplished by combining Duo Security with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. By requiring two-factor authentication for access to the Veeam console, this integration adds a necessary degree of safety guaranteeing that only authorized users may interact with important backup data. Following the above-described actions will help you greatly lower the possibility of illegal access and safeguard the important information of your company.
