MFA for SSH

avatar

How do I can access servers that are using MFA through SSH?

I'm currently using some Linux servers that have the MFA authentication available through SSH, however each time that I try to get inside them using the "Remote Desktop Manager", I get expelled immediately from the session without getting the prompt for the MFA system.

That doesn't happen when I used putty or mRemote.

Reference: https://sysconfig.org.uk/two-factor-authentication-with-ssh.html

Someone know if there is a misconfiguration in the SSH setup for the "Remote Desktop Manager" or some kind of troubleshooting that I can apply to resolve this issue?

Hello,

Could you please go to the Properties of your SSH Shell entry, under "Advanced" and set "Interactive authentication in terminal to "True"?

Enabling this option should solve this issue.
