TOTP optional interval

The TOTP optional interval is the amount of time, in minutes, that a TOTP value is not needed after an initial successful authentication using a password and TOTP value.

This allows interfaces that do not support MFA to be used after a successful authentication with a TOTP value. For more information, refer to IBM i software and client application considerations.

The TOTP optional interval can be set to *NONE which will require the user to enter a TOTP value on every authentication that requires a password, or it can be set to a number of minutes, 1-720. When the specified optional interval expires, the user is required to successfully authenticate using a password and TOTP value again before the interval will restart.
