Okta's MFA and Shibboleth

[Herron, Joel D]

Don,
We are in the process of setting up okta. I can tell you that I have successfully proxied the IDP back to Okta and then you can use whatever MFA method you want to inside of Okta. We are still using Duo through Okta and it is working just fine. I will also heavily agree with Scott  Okta’s SAML implementation is trash.

All I had to do was follow the proxy to another IDP guide and it was an easy setup.

Basically my question is: Can a Shibboleth IdP be configured to use the Okta vendor's MFA product?

Thanks,
Don

What may be true however is that you may not have the ability to control which applications get MFA'd by Okta, given that they very likely do not support the actual proxying semantics of SAML or have the ability to consume the RequesterID element to influence behavior.



So if you didn't mean all or nothing re: MFA, then you may be correct.
