Okta's MFA and Shibboleth

It seems that if apps are in the Okta portal are still configured 
against Shibboleth IdP, that yes SAML proxying between Okta and Shib IdP 
is the method. But that assumes that all apps have an icon in the Okta 
portal.

Professors point their students research/periodicals sites and SSO login 
works because of InCommon Federation membership. There is no way all of 
these will get an icon in the Okta portal. If MFA is still a goal for 
these Shibboleth protected applications, does anyone know if Shibboleth 
IdP can be configured to use Okta's MFA solution?

Thanks,
Don
