MFA authentication with SonarQube

Hi Team,

we are using SonarQube developer edition 9.9.6 version.

SonarQube server implement Multi-factor Authentication.

Can you please guide us the possible ways to implement the MFA in SonarQube..

Hello!

SonarQube does not natively manage Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) when using delegated authentication methods. Instead, MFA is handled by the external identity provider, such as Active Directory (AD) or SAML, that you configure with SonarQube.

For example, if your identity provider requires MFA via SAML, users will experience MFA when logging in to SonarQube. To secure access, make sure to configure and enforce the necessary MFA policies directly on your identity provider. SonarQube will respect those security measures during the authentication process.
