Explanation

Splunk supports Duo Security MFA paired with SAML, LDAP, and Native (Splunk-internal) authentication. Scripted authentication is a custom, external authentication mechanism; Splunk has no built-in ability to intercept and inject a second-factor challenge into an arbitrary scripted auth flow. Therefore, Scripted authentication with Duo Security MFA managed by Splunk is not a supported combination. Admins using scripted auth who need MFA must handle that logic within the script itself, outside of Splunk's MFA framework.
