Dear Community team, 

 
I configured IBM Verify Identity Access 11 to implement SAML2 IDP, it is working as expected. User is able to login (pkmslogin.form) and POST SAML assertion to acs url.
However we have a requirement to implement TOTP MFA as part of SAML2 authentication.  I added Access Policy  (var promptTOTP = true;) and enable access policy in Federation as well and handler.setRedirectUri set as the below, but it is not working.
handler.setRedirectUri("/sps/authsvc/policy/totp\
?Target=https://iviaproxy.poc.com/isam@ACTION@");
Is there any cookbook to follow exact steps to enable MFA for SAML2 integration?
It would be appreciated if you provide guidance/steps on implement MFA for SAML2
 
Thank you!

Someswara,

In IVIA 11.0.0.0 the traditional TOTP is disabled by default and you need to use a policy that has the 'OTP Enrollment' authentication mechanism configured.

Please try this and confirm whether it resolves your issue.

It is working as expected when I add OTP enrolment step in authentication policy. Thanks for your support.
