2FA in a session-initiated scenario

In a session-initiated scenario, when a user starts a session from putty (or from the RDP client) he has to authenticate himself to be recognised as a USER and also for 2FA (with Azure).

What happens if the user starts other sessions? Does he have to authenticate for each session both as USER and also to 2FA or does the first and only authentication to 2FA apply?

It is a little bit complicated but please tell me if it is all clear.

thank you so much!!

  • perfect, all very clear!
    in conclusion, if the user uses the second method described and opens 10 sessions to 10 linux servers, he will never have to authenticate (not even the first time on the first open connection) with 2FA as there is currently no AA plugin that supports 2FA with Azure, correct?

    thank you very much Tawfiq, really thank you so much!
