Multi Factor Authentication compatibility with Infoprint Central

This request is to have Infoprint Central compatible with Multi Factor Authentication. Currently, we cannot sign into Infoprint Central using multi factor authentication. According to the doc, the apache server needs 64 bit enabled and configured, however Infoprint Server / Central only supports 31 bit. State Street Bank recently moved everyone to MFA and had to back my ID out so i can get into IPC. Please reach out to me if you need further clarification. We are hoping you are already addressing this as we are probably not the first and wont be the last ones that are moving to MFA and this will be necessary.

    IBM is determining the cost for MFA to add 31 bit IBM HTTP server support to reduce the effort for Infoprint Central to support MFA.
