Does Splunk Cloud support DUO two factor authentication? I am a cloud customer who is also a duo customer. I do not see the ability to add DUO under authentication methods.

Thanks in Advance!

Yes, but the cloud instance needs to be at 6.5.x.

Is this really not possible with Splunk Cloud? Is there a workaround to get MFA working?

Hi,

While it is true that there is no direct support for 2FA (Duo) in Splunk Cloud anymore (it was removed after 6.6 I believe), the way to still achieve 2FA is to do it at the SAML/IDP layer. As long as your IDP supports 2FA and the 2FA bits happen outside of Splunk, go for it.

Duo IDP is not supported in in Cloud b/c it cuts off local users needed for administration in Splunk Cloud. If DUO re-writes its IDP in the future it maybe possible.

Can Splunk build in an option to enable Duo on an account basis instead of globally?

Can Splunk please confirm that this is still a valid answer? My Splunk Cloud ver 7.2 does not appear to have any options for configuring Duo support.

This page https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/Security/AboutMultiFactorAuth clearly states

"Splunk Cloud does not support
multifactor authentication with Duo
Security."

which is a contradiction to this accepted answer.

If Duo is supported in Cloud 7.x/8.x please point us to the appropriate documentation.

I downvoted this post because this answer is obsolete (and now wrong). see splunk internal engineering reference; spl-154283
