Enable miniOrange MFA for External RADIUS Servers
- Primary authentication initiates when the user enters the credentials in order to access the application.
- An authentication request is sent to miniOrange by the application.
- Based on the authentication request miniOrange sends the RADIUS Request to the external RADIUS Server (in this case CAS) to validate the intial request.
- Once the user's first level of authentication gets validated, the RADIUS Server will then send RADIUS Response to miniOrange.
- Then, miniOrange asks for the 2-factor authentication challenge to the user.
- User submits the response/code based on the second factor method selected.
- The user response (or second factor) is validated in miniOrange.
- On successful 2nd factor authentication the user is granted access to the application.
