Hello, thank you so can the SMB appliances support MS MFA with Azure AD and the Authenticator App out of the box and if so how is it done? This link below seems to imply yes but what are the pre-requisites? Can you show me an SK or some documentation in the MS Azure AD App Gallery that advises this for the SMB appliances?

Check Point Remote Access VPN with Azure Active Directory
The Check Point VPN is a tried-and-true solution which is now available in the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) app gallery. Check Point VPN customers can now quickly enable single sign-on and manage access to the Check Point VPN with Azure AD.
By integrating with Azure AD, organizations can leverage capabilities such as Conditional Access and passwordless authentication to provide secure and seamless access to Check Point VPN.
- Conditional Access allows admins to enforce specific requirements (multi-factor authentication, access from a compliance device, have an approved client app, and more) for a user to act on before granting access into the Check Point VPN.
- Passwordless authentication is a more convenient and secure method of authentication that replaces easily compromised simple passwords. Passwordless authentication methods that integrate with Azure AD include FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business and Microsoft Authenticator app. Customers can now use passwordless authentication to sign into the Check Point VPN.
By integrating with Azure AD, Check Point’s VPN solution can support advanced security capabilities that can help organizations on their Zero Trust journey.
Many thanks.
