Incorporate Google and MS Authenticators to FlashSystem MFA

Currently the supported MFAs are Duo and IBM Verify.
I received a few requests from customers that do not work with Verify nor Duo, and requested to have the other options as well.

    Thank you for submitting this Idea. We are currently evaluating your request.

    The system uses the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol to communicate with supported authentication providers.

    Supported SSO providers:

    • IBM Security Verify

    • Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)

    • Microsoft Azure Entra ID

    • Okta

    • Duo Security

    • PingOne

    Any of these SSO providers support MS Authenticator or Google Authenticator for MFA.

    These options will provide the most secure, consistent integration with the customers' enterprise infrastructure access management system.

    Are you looking for something else instead?


    Thanks,
    FlashSystem Team
