Then copy everything except Bin folder into C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\V15\ClientAccess\Owa.

Then copy MultiFactor.IIS.Adapter.dll and Newtonsoft.Json.dll files in Bin folder to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa\Bin directory.

Backup the the web.config file inside the C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa

The web.config file inside the C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa directory is opened.

• First change the <modules> with <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false">

• ·Secondly , The Multifactor module should be added within the modules tag, as seen below:

  --> <add type="MirketOwa.IIS.Agent.Owa.Module, MirketOwa.IIS.Agent" name="MFA" />

  </modules>

• · Three keys should be added within the appsettings tag.

  * mirket:api-url => Mirket URL related.

  * mirket:disaster-scenario-bypass => In a disaster scenario, it checks whether a bypass should occur when Mirket cannot be reached (true, false). False is recommended if provider is Approve/Deny.

* mirket:api-key=> Mirket API key .
