Testing out MFA with Google authenticator - have it working very nicely with one the primary broker node in a 2 node HA setup. However, when failing over to the secondary broker, MFA fails to work. Config on the 2nd node is the same but the google-authenticator never seems to run - MFA is just bypassed.

Any thoughts and helpful advice on getting it working on the 2nd broker ?

Thanks

Very strange - you’d need to have a look in the system logs to see what’s going on, since this all happens outside of ThinLinc itself. Any clues there? If configuration is the same on both nodes, AFAIK behaviour should be identical.

Got it working.. used scp to copy the ./ssh/google_authenticator file from broker 1 to 2 and bingo. rsync for some odd reason wasn’t copying the file across.
