Enforcing multifactor authentication
You can enforce multifactor authentication for users in the Flex Appliance Console, so that they must configure it by the date that you select.
Note:
Remote AD and LDAP user groups are not supported when multifactor authentication is enforced. Once you enforce it, users in these groups can no longer sign in.
You cannot enforce multifactor authentication for the hostadmin user in the Flex Appliance Shell.
Before you can enforce multifactor authentication, the following prerequisites must be met:
The appliance date and time must be set with NTP.
You and at least one other user must have the security administrator role. At least one of the users with the security administrator role must be a local user.
You must have multifactor authentication configured on your account.
To enforce multifactor authentication
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console as a security administrator. Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the page and then click Multifactor authentication enforcement.
- On the Multifactor authentication enforcement page, click Enforce.
- Select a start date within the next 90 days.
Caution:
Once you enforce multifactor authentication, you cannot cancel the enforcement or extend the start date past 90 days.
- Click Enforce.
If you need to change the start date, return to the Multifactor authentication enforcement page and click .
