Hello, I am facing a weird issue with Global Protect where after a user authenticates via Okta Radius to the Portal and enters their MFA SMS Key the GP Agent asks for the user to enter the MFA SMS Key again with the response of ('A message was sent or a call was made to the phone in the past 30 seconds. Please try again when 30 secs have passed. Enter '0' to abort.'). Due to this users are unable to authenticate to the portal successfully. From the OKTA logs, I show successful end-to-end authentication, however, GP Monitor Logs show that the authentication response was empty or invalid. I have also pasted mp-auth-logs from Portal/Gateway below:

Here are a few details regarding my setup and Portal/Gateway:
- Running 10.2.6 PanOS
- Running 6.1.0 and 6.0.7 GP Client
- Using OKTA Global Protect Radius Agent for authentication (Timeout set to 60sec and 1 retry)
- Generate Cookie Encrypt is running on Portal (using the same Cert as Gateway) Lifetime set for 24 hours.
- Accept Cookie Decrypt is running on Gateway (using the same Cert as Portal) Lifetime set for 24hrs.
I have tried opening a sev 1 panTAC case but unfortunately, no one from Support knows how to resolve this issue and currently users are unable to connect via GP VPN at the moment.
