Defines the multi-factor authentication flow for RADIUS.

- "OneFactor" - The input from the user is sent as password and the response is used for result.
- "Challenge" - Before prompting the user, Controller sends a challenge request to the RADIUS server
using "challengeSharedSecret" or the user password. Data from the response is used with user input to
send the second RADIUS authentication request.
- "Push" - "challengeSharedSecret" or the user password is sent to RADIUS which triggers an external
authentication flow. When the external authentication flow returns success, the MFA attempt is
authenticated.

Valid values[
  "OneFactor",
  "Challenge",
  "Push"
]Default"Challenge"
useUserPasswordboolean    

-> If enabled, the Client will send the cached password instead of using challengeSharedSecret" to initiate the multi-factor authentication.
