Shibboleth - Query on integrating two factor authentication

According to my interpretation and setup your statement is incorrect.

Your Multi-Factor Login Handler (IdP portion) is expecting the output of that page .. "Authenticated
OK" to be returned from the validation step of your mod_authn_otp protected
directory.

You need to enable a dir through apache that requires the otp module to
be executed and "something" (your token) to be validated.
