IIS requires multi factor authentication ? or something else ?

Question

I currently have an ASP.net website deployed on IIS Windows Server 2019. The account that I am using to sign in to the machine is domain joined.
I changed the identity of the user from the application pool of the website to a user who with active directory credentials. However when attempting to access a azure DB the website states that I need to handle Multi factor authentication. I wanted to know what are my options regarding this ?

Hello

Is the new account your are using now from AD, enabled for MFA ?

Maybe the AD account you just set up is MFA enabled. Try with another AD account (preferably a service account created for this use)

Hi SilverChips asked,

Use the IIS Authentication section of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server to enable and configure IIS authentication for integration with Microsoft IIS web applications. The Azure MFA Server installs a plug-in that can filter requests being made to the IIS web server to add Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. The IIS plug-in provides support for Form-Based Authentication and Integrated Windows HTTP Authentication. Trusted IPs can also be configured to exempt internal IP addresses from two-factor authentication.

More information about configure Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server for IIS web apps you can refer to the link.
