Support for UI.com account with MFA?

[rsnodgrass]

Does this support accounts which are setup with multi-factor authentication (MFA or 2FA)? I can't seem to get this to connect to the controller, but if I click on the link emitted in the logs it does load in the browser and shows json data. My guess is that this does not take the 6-digit multi-factor authentication token?

Indeed, it does not support MFA. Do you have any information on how to authenticate API requests with MFA enabled?

No, but I’ll do some research!!

What I've found is that the recommendation is to create another "Local User" on the controller that does not have MFA activated. This account is used explicitly for API access.

Yup, this is what I seem to recall as well, when I did some research about it way-back-when. I guess that means we can close this issue?

I think so. Now, I can't get Net::SSLeay to actually install on the Mac that I use all the time. :(
