NimbostratusThis link does not actually address the complete solution for the MFA.
I would like to see the complete guide and if someone actually completed the MFA successfully. It looks like there is lot of suggestions but no one really shared and definitely said what solution worked and how it needs to be configured.
We would like to use our external SAML IdP but it seems that the policy in APM does not allow the SAML auth. In the Access Policy you have to set the Profile Type to system authentication, but when you do that it does not list the option to use SAML auth. You only see the options as are shown on the snapshot on the right. If you create a policy with the Profile Type - All then you see the option of the Saml Auth as you see it on the snapshot on the left.
It would be good to hear if there is a POC with a complete solution.
