Known issues

MFA with Mediaflux is a new feature that is currently under active development. As such there are some known issues that we are tracking with the software vendor (Arcitecta). Pending resolution, here are some workarounds.

“Session Expired” when enrolling for MFA

When attempting to enrol using the QR code at the MFA registration portal, you always see the error message:

Mediaflux Pocket: Enrollment failed
Session expired. Please re-login and try again

This issue seems to either be intermittent or only affect some users' phones.

You can enrol manually from within the Mediaflux Pocket app.

  • Open the Mediaflux Pocket app on your phone

  • Tap the red (plus) button in the bottom-right

  • Tap the “ENROL MANUALLY” link at the bottom of the screen and enter the details:

    • domain: unimelb or student

    • username: <your university username>

    • password: <your university password>

  • Tap the REGISTER button

When enrolled for MFA, unable to log in to MFA portal

If you are currently enrolled for MFA and have logged in to Mediaflux recently (within the last 24 hours), you will not be able to log in to the MFA registration portal. This means that you can’t use the portal to unenrol from MFA. The message shown by the portal is:

Multi-Factor Authentication Required
A notification has been sent to the enrolled device -
Please verify on your device to continue.

If iPhone is locked, actioned push notifications show "No Response" error

If your iPhone is locked when you try to connect with MFA for the first time in a 24 hour period, a push notification is sent to your phone. When you unlock your phone and tap on the notification, the Mediaflux Pocket app opens, but the verification status is listed as “No Response” and cannot be accepted.
