Hello,

We would like to implement 2-factor or multi-factor authentication with OBIEE 12.2.1.1. Any ideas about how to implement it natively/without use of external tools like OAM would be helpful.

Please advise.

    Not done it, but a quick google search shows Oracle access manager supports multi-factor authentication. And you can setup single sign-on for OBIEE with OAM.

    Thanks for the google results Sherry. I've updated my request, need a native/creative solution (because I know weblo supports 2FA and MFA).

    Just configure two Authentication providers as REQUIRED. You will then need to authenticate successfully to both in order to login. That's really it. If you want to get fancier, you can write your own custom Authentication provider for example to ask for an OTP, or buy some fancy product that allows you to use a hardware token or biometrics and plugin in your authentication provider if they provide one or use their API and write a custom authenticator for it. Here's an article that will help you write your custom auth provider if required: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/idm/default-2030737.html

    How would 2 authentication providers work for 2FA exactly? If I configured 2 providers, both SUFFICIENT, wouldn't 1 of them just let you in if you existed there?

    Sorry, didn't read your post carefully. I will try this and report results.

    Pardon my ignorance, but how does setting up two authentication providers constitute a multi/two factor authentication? I believe you will still be using the same username/password to perform authentication.

    I was just working on typing the same thing out, you beat me to it.
