I'm not familiar with this particular solution but usually these would be set up as an identity provider for federated authentication. After that the whole authentication process happens via the external IdP and any multi-factor authentication etc. can take place.
The preferred protocol to use would be OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 but if that's not supported by Cisco Duo then SAML 2.0 can also still be used even though it has been deprecated in M-Files and is not supported on M-Files Mobile.
As a side note, there was some discussion about Duo on the Partner Forum a while ago but no particular tips for setting it up so far: https://community.m-files.com/groups-1602070992/partners/f/partner-forum/5744/has-anyone-used-duo-mfa-with-m-files
Hi Joonas,
any god news about an useable 2FA for our M-Files webapps ?
nice Weekend

The current way is to configure federated authentication with an IdP that provides 2FA capabilities. This is working fine for many customers and we are using 2FA also internally that way. I haven't heard of any plans for an alternative solution, sorry.
1. Configure M-Files to use federated authentication with the IdP. For Azure AD, documentation in the user guide. For other IdPs, see Configuring OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 for M-Files Authentication.
2. Enable MFA in the IdP's configuration. Check the IdP vendor's documentation on how to do that, e.g. Microsoft documentation for Azure AD.
