    I understand why you would ask for this, but it would most likely break more than it would fix.

    IBM has a workaround in place today for using MFA with interfaces that are "not MFA aware"

    More information below

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.6.0?topic=mfa-overview

    Interfaces that do not have an additional factor field require the additional factor value be appended to the password using a colon as the separator (password:additional_factor). The system administrator must educate users on how to use the password field on interfaces that do not provide an additional factor field.


    I recommend you look at the IBM i 7.6 Redbook, my colleagues put a lot of effort into explaining how this works with examples that could help you.
