Background

Announcing mandatory multi-factor authentication for Azure sign-in

Question

If I'm required to enable MFA on my Entra domain accounts, how will that affect the arcgis system account? Is there a way around this? Is Esri developing a method for dealing with this? My deployment uses the same domain account for the following services:

Environment

  • Microsoft Azure
  • Windows Server OS
  • Entra Domain Services
  • ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3

Hey @Adam_blaine ,

My expectation is that this shouldn't affect your service accounts. Typically, login to servers is facilitated directly through a domain controller rather than through Microsoft Entra.
