Does anyone have expirience with securing vCloud Director login page for tenants with 2 factor authentication? Is there any 3rd party solution which "just works" or is there any other method of implementing 2FA with vCloud Director? I've searched google and didn't find much about this topic.
I will check this out with Our vCD development team and will get back to you soon with Answers

You can setup vCloud Director to use a SAML provider for authentication on a per-tenant basis. I've set it up for Safenet's Secure Authentication Service for one of our customers who wanted 2fa. I struggled with it initially but got it to work in the end. I believe Safenet have now included instructions for using their service with vCloud Director.
Not really look for just AD, but multi-factor. I see that blog post contains details about using Safenet and RSA though. So it looks like I'll need to figure out how to setup a generic SAML connection with one of those or something like DUO which may be doable.
ok for identity provider but a trivial qrcode for native 2fa token is welcome. 80% of installations in the world would immediately be safer. Think about it seriously, it's an easy feature to make.
There are loads of possibilities now that you can use SAML and IDP's to configure tenant authentication and authorization. We use WS ONE Access in combination with our VCD installment to provide easy MFA to the environment. As can any other SAML based authentication tooling.
