Authentication

Question

Hello everyone!
Is there a way to use the Azure MFA for on-premises applications (like Sharepoint 2013) that use local Active Directory for authentication?

Thanks!

Hi @NDOUR Ndeye Dioma · Thank you for reaching out.

On-prem web applications such as SharePoint, can only use Azure MFA if those applications are federated with ADFS (Active Directory Federation Service) for authentication. Once the application is federated with ADFS, you can then follow the instructions provided here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-ad-fs-and-azure-mfa to configure ADFS to use Azure MFA for either 1st or 2nd factor authentication.
