Issue/Introduction

This article explains whether Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is supported natively in Aria Suite lifecycle.

Environment

Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.x

Resolution

• Aria Suite Lifecycle doesn't natively support external MFA as it can be configured to only work with VMware Identity Manager.
• Integrating external PAM or Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions with Aria Suite lifecycle is not supported.

FYI.. The default administrator account for Aria Suite Lifecycle (admin@local) cannot be disabled as it's a built-in-account for initial access and configuration.
