Multi-Factor Authentication in the Expenses Mobile Application

To avoid Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) issues in your Expenses mobile application, Oracle recommends that you use browser-based authentication when your single sign-on (SSO) provider requires MFA.

To allow the Expenses mobile application to launch your preferred mobile browser for sign-in, instead of the original SSO URL, which is https://<pod url>, enter the host URL as listed below at the login page of the SSO tab (based on your device):

• On Android, enter:

  https://<pod url>?browser_auth=true

• On iOS:
  • For the default browser (usually Safari), enter

    https://<pod url>?scheme=https

  • For other browsers, it depends on the scheme of each browser.

    For example, in Microsoft Edge, enter:

    https://<pod url>?scheme=microsoft-edge-https

    In MobileIron, enter:

    https://<pod url>?scheme=mibrowsers

    If your preferred browser doesn't have a scheme, then you must make it your default browser and invoke using ?scheme=https mentioned above.

Once the browser confirms your identity, you are automatically routed back to the Expenses application.
