So Duo is allowed to be used for password, but password is not allowed<br>
for Duo. Then, if you are wanting to force Duo, have the SP send only<br>
Duo. If the SP sends both password and Duo, then while one may be<br>
preferred by the order given, it still means both are acceptable.<br>

<div>MCB will satisfy the requested AuthnContext that meets the requirements between what the SP requested and what the user is allowed. It also allows the administrator to specify that one context can satisfy another context, yielding an ordered list. What
complicates it more at this point, is that contexts are satisfied by methods. So, a method being the actual way a user authenticates. A given method can be specified to satisfy multiple context values which ends up rendering them the same in practice. That
is because when a user authenticates successfully, they have completed a method. Then any context which uses that method can be satisfied.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So it ends up allowing the ordering of contexts and restricting which contexts a user is allowed.</div>
