Mobile App & Security with ServiceDesk Plus On-prem
We've recently implemented Service Desk Plus, and from what I can tell, multi factor authentication is not supported. We have a strict rule in our organization that services can not be made publicly accessible without either MFA or the requirement of mobile device registration (intune) to access the reource. I can get the mobile app to work via Azure application proxy with passthrough authentication, but without MFA this is not an option. Using Azure proxy for pre-auththentication works for browser,

Ticket group is set to "Not Assigned" when picked up by a Technician
I've noticed when a ticket is picked up by a technician that is not associated with a group, it marks that user as the technician and sets the group to "Not Assigned". Generally our technicians have their view set to show only their associated support groups. So tickets that are "Not Assigned" to any group aren't easily seen and typically seem to be forgotten. For example, Tech A is in the "Network" support group but not in "Applications". If Tech A picks up a ticket from the "Applications" support
Auto-assign tickets to group based on site

If we can automatically route the tickets to them it would reduce turnaround time for resolution and save us significant time dispatching tickets. Can this be done? 9.1 Build 9120

Hello, Does the "automated request close" process take in consideration working days and holidays or not?
