Block MFA enabled users access to non-MFA adapters

Hi Team,

At present, it is possible to block users at engine level which is useful to block users from logging in. Is it possible to block users if they use particular adapter and allow for others? if not, can we please consider if this can be configured/developed in SSP.

We have two types of adapters MFA and non-MFA adapters where MFA adapters use a policy which require both password and key to authenticate users. But MFA users can also login to non-MFA adapters which expects either of password or key. 

At network level, we have two different ports for MFA and non-MFA. Users can access both the ports and traffic will be routed to either MFA adapters or non-MFA adapters in SSP. We want to block MFA enabled users to use only MFA port/adapters and block those users when we receive connection request to non-MFA adapters/listener in SSP.

Is it possible to block MFA users if they access non-MFA adapters? if not, can we please consider if this can be configured/developed in SSP.

Thanks,

Satheesh
