Let me play the devil's advocate here: why would you want two step authentication for Oracle Forms, if you already have it for VPN. Isn't RSA token, DUO or Okta Verify or whatever else you are using, safe enough? So, the user must know his VPN password, must correctly respond to the second password challenge generated by some form of two step authentication like the ones mentioned above and he also must know his application username and password. It looks to me that you are as certain as it is at all possible that the user who is logging in is who he says he is. Regards
