I'd be interested to know what the reasons are why you would rather get the Unicon plugin working with 3.3.x than switch to the now built-in support for such with the combo of the MFA and Duo flows? There are no features in our Unicon plugin that at least I'd had occasion to leverage for deployments that I wasn't also able to configure with the new MFA/Duo support in IdP 3.3.x. Is it simply the "learning curve" of how to configure it the "new way" versus the "old way"? Or is there something you could do with the Unicon plugin that you don't think you can do with the new MFA/Duo support?
