Hi Sumit. Have you seen these?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for sharing the links. Yes i have seen these , but my intent here is to understand at request level.
like how username/password is validated and MFA is provided. sequence of events which take place in this whole process.
Hi @SumitK.27718 (Customer) ,
As I understand, Okta MFA for RDP is basically a Windows Credential Provider. It doesn't handle validating the username/password; I believe it delegates that responsibility to winlogon. When the username/password are verified, the Okta credential provider displays the MFA form and only then it communicates with the Okta API's to complete the MFA challenge/response.
Let me know if you find any other info. I'd love to learn more about this.
