KB-7037: After Enabling MFA the User is Unable to Login

Auditing and Monitoring Service ,   Authentication Service ,   DirectSecure ,  

21 June,16 at 04:29 PM

Applies to: All version of Centrify Server Suite using MFA.

Problem:
After enabling MFA, any user who selects the option to use MFA is unable to login at all.

Resolution:
The accounts only have a security question setup for MFA. The account also must have at least a phone number setup on it and, preferably, a phone number and email address. When those are added, MFA should work properly.
