Topic "Datasource - require 2 factor authentication" a message from twistfox

So, we've been using RDM for a while, with a SQL database. Our setup we need to be able to use offline cached mode since there are quite a few cases were we end up somewhere physically that we can't reach back to SQL. The question came up about how we can handle offline caching, and someone who leaves the company. If they leave, they have access to the offline cache for 20 days (we can't always get a laptop back for remote employee's right away). The perfect answer to address this is through the 2 factor authentication, provided I can require it to connect to the data source.

In my ideal world, if you want to connect and pull the connection and credentials down from SQL you need to have 2 factor turned on. If you turn it off, you shouldn't be able to use the cached DB unless you turn it back on.

This gives us the ability to control access, and handle that situtation through a remote wipe of the authenticator device (think like a iPhone or Android) with the security that we want.

I've seen no way to mandate that this is checked when connecting to the datasource, so that's a feature i'd love to see. I can set it up that way before it goes to someone, but they have access to the options to turn it off, it's not so useful to us.

Any chance to get this added in? If it's already existing and i've missed it, please let me know. It's a great setup to have.
