NimbostratusF5 APM 2FA through SMTP
NacreousHi User100000
you can just use the appropriate template which you can find as macro inside VPE
just replace AD Query and Auth with Local DB and create an SMTP configuration
For trial MFA you can check DUO or Microsoft Entra
Entra might be a free option as well but without conditional access etc.
For a complete free MFA solution you could use Keycloak as IDP and use saml or oauth federation with APM
User100000Thanks,
Do you have the exact steps needed to use F5 on its own for OTP, to send the token generated from it to the user through SMTP?

As said there is already a macro template which you can use in your APM policy for this exact reason.
- create a new policy
- add a new macro
- select macro template "AD query auth OTP by email and resources"
- add this macro to the actual policy
The only thing you have to configure yourself is your authentication method, macro uses AD but you can use local DB too, and the SMTP configuration under "System ›› Configuration : Device : SMTP"

I need to send email address to the user
the user exist on local database, what we need to do that when the user log, F5 gets the email address of the user who login and send the OTP to this email,
How to map this in the policy by getting the email address according to the login user from the local database?
