Hi,

I am trying to configure my Shibboleth v4 IDP for Research.gov MFA. And I
believe I configured everything from my side as NIH federation MFA is
working fine. [ Fine means, I do see NIH enforcing "
https://refeds.org/profile/mfa" in "AuthnContextClassRef" in SAML assertion
].

But for Researdh.gov I don't see anything like this. Do you have any
suggestions what's wrong with my setup? I tried to contact Research.gov
support but not getting enough responses.

Here is what I am getting when I am testing my SSO with Research.gov:

<samlp:AuthnRequest xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"
                    ID="0000xxxxdcc39b4e5c90862"
                    Version="2.0"
                    IssueInstant="2025-03-07T15:09:40Z"
                    Destination="
https://myhostname/idp/profile/SAML2/POST/SSO"
                    ForceAuthn="false"
                    IsPassive="false"

ProtocolBinding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
                    AssertionConsumerServiceURL="
https://identity.acpt.research.gov/sso/Consumer/metaAlias/research/identity.acpt.research.gov
"
                    >
    <saml:Issuer xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion">
https://identity.acpt.research.gov/sso/sp</saml:Issuer>
    <samlp:NameIDPolicy xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"

Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient"
                        SPNameQualifier="
https://identity.acpt.research.gov/sso/sp"
                        AllowCreate="true"
                        />
    <samlp:RequestedAuthnContext
xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"
                                 Comparison="exact"
                                 />
</samlp:AuthnRequest>

Thanks in advance!
