Re: 2fa for PeopleSoft?

There isn’t a native PS function for this, nor a native way to do it between just PS and AD (to my knowledge).  We did 
it here using Duo, GreyHeller ERP Firewall and PeopleSoft roles.  We have a combination of page-based MFA and 
role-based MFA.  Unfortunately, a rework of the Educause site seems to have broken content on prior SPC events, so 
here’s a direct link to the whitepaper I wrote for the session I did two years ago:
http://www.educause.edu/sites/default/files/library/presentations/SEC15/SESS05/University%2Bof%2BColorado%2BMultifactor%2Bauthentication%2Bfor%2BHR%2Bself.docx

Of course, there are probably other ways to address the multifactor decision-making layer (where we have GH ERPFW) and 
naturally other options for the MFA tool itself (we use Duo).

Subject: [SECURITY] 2fa for PeopleSoft?

I knew this at one time, but knowledge is fleeting (at least at my age) and often obsolete. So I’d appreciate help from 
anyone with current wisdom.
Here’s the question: What are the options to enable 2fa for PeopleSoft applications on a user-by-user basis (that is, 
some users are forced to use 2fa, for others it’s offered optionally, and neither of the above for the rest)?
For example, I’m wondering about native PS functionality, native functionality in the authenticating AD, third-party 
products associated with PS, ditto with AD.
And, if you have used one or more of these options, recommendations as to which works best?
Many thanks in advance for any public or private guidance you can provide!
