How can we use the Meraki client VPN and have MFA? How do we log user access?

I'm curious where I can find logs showing who has connected, when, and for how long - as well as how to enable MFA since Meraki is external facing.  Any one have info about this?

Enabling MFA for a user is done in the dashboard by clicking your account name (top right) and going to profile. 

To enforce MFA for the organization, go to Organization -> Settings.

 

As for logging, all event logging for a given network is under Network-Wide -> Event Log.

You can then use filters there to narrow down what you're looking for.

If you have a specific client in mind, you can also select the client from Network-Wide -> clients and click "event log" or "timeline".


Edit: It just occurred to me you we looking specifically at client VPN.

Meraki client VPN doesn't natively support MFA but can incorporate 3rd party solutions

Two-Factor Authentication - Cisco Meraki


The above info about logging is still applicable for VPN connections, you would just filter to event type.

Do you have Active Directory?

If so, I recommend getting Cisco Duo for the MFA.

Active Directory logs connections in the Security event log.
