Description

I run Rocketchat in Docker - it is up to date.
I have an OUATH/OpenID connect setup using Keycloak for SSO.
I've noticed that my administrator user is re-prompted for MFA (TOTP) after a successful SSO authentication.

As Keycloak already handles MFA - it would be desirable to not prompt upon redirect back.

Research direction

Reproduce the SSO flow in the reported Docker setup using Keycloak and TOTP, then trace the redirect back into Rocket.Chat's authentication flow. Done means a user whose Keycloak login already satisfied MFA is not prompted for Rocket.Chat MFA again, while other MFA cases continue to work.
