Administratively Generate a TOTP MFA Secret

This endpoint can be used to generate a TOTP MFA secret. Unlike the generate API which stores the generated secret on the entity ID of the calling token, the admin-generate API stores the generated secret on the given entity ID.

Method	Path
`POST`	`/sys/mfa/method/totp/:name/admin-generate`

Parameters

name (string: <required>) - Name of the MFA method.
entity_id (string: <required>) - Entity ID on which the generated secret needs to get stored.

Sample Payload

Administratively Destroy TOTP MFA Secret

This endpoint deletes a TOTP MFA secret from the given entity ID.

Note that in order to overwrite a secret on the entity, it is required to explicitly delete the secret first. This API can be used to delete the secret and the generate or admin-generate APIs should be used to regenerate a new secret.

Method	Path
`POST`	`/sys/mfa/method/:name/admin-destroy`

Parameters

name (string: <required>) – Name of the MFA method.
entity_id (string: <required>) - Entity ID from which the MFA secret should be removed.

Sample Payload

{
  "entity_id": "4746fb81-028c-cd4e-026b-7dd18fe4c2f4"
}
