vcenter 3rd party authentication while using adfs and mfa

We are deploying adfs and mfa in our environment. One of our use cases are AD based account that are being used to authenticate 3rd party software like apps like backup/citrix/monitoring tools... what do you do for those accounts since the login isnt interactive? Do you bypass MFA? Do you switch to local accounts? - this is not ideal.

Pardon for my lack of security terminology, please feel free to correct me with the right words.

Thanks

You can point the recent versions of vcenter to adfs, and then will take care of the mfa.
