But it's not always practical as we don't always control the IDPs. So the use case for OTP is if we are using an IDP that either doesn't support, or the team that is running it doesn't want to support, something like OTP but we still want to require it when logging in through Keycloak. The other use case is when we are making authentication/authorization decisions based on some other sort risk assessment or user required action. This may involve using services or code that we will never be able to plug into an IDP. In those cases a post broker login flow would allow us to add on a consistent layer across all the brokered IDPs regardless of what they can technically support. You can use requiredAction SPI after broker authentication. That is triggered after each authentication (classic or broker) . See some docs here : http://keycloak.github.io/docs/userguide/keycloak-server/html/auth_spi.ht... . Maybe using RequiredAction SPI for OTP authentication is even better than IdentityProviderMapper (even if it's still seems to be a workaround). In your RequiredActionProvider.evaluateTriggers(), you will check that user was authenticated through broker and if yes, you put some requiredAction like "authenticate_otp" to clientSession. Then in requiredActionChallenge() you will redirect to OTP form and in processAction() you will check if OTP was successful. The code in requiredActionChallenge and processAction methods might be very similar to the code in OTPFormAuthenticator. You can likely inspire from here. If you still have issues, feel free to create JIRA and we will try to look at improve things in Keycloak.
