LinOTP is a linux based solution for one time password authentication. In March 2010 the new LinOTP 2 was released. Further below you will find information on LinOTP 1.3.
LinOTP 2
LinOTP 1 passed through a complete rewrite and redesign. Thus you are not bound to openldap and freeradius anymore. A flexible module concept allows you to use roughly any userbackend to use any authentication mechanism you like to.
LinOTP support HMAC-OTP based tokens like the Aladdin eTokenNG-OTP, eToken PASS and Safeword Alpine but also other kind of tokens like the mobile token motp. The concept is open to any other Token and algorithm being included.
The website http://www.linotp.org has more information on this. You may also want to visit the german website of the enterprise edition of LinOTP2.
LinOTP 1.3
LinOTP is a linux based backend based on freeradius and openldap. It consists basically of the components
- OpenLDAP scheme
- freeRADIUS plugin
- linux administration tool for enrolling and managing OTP Tokens. (The eTokenNG OTP are also enrolled on a linux station)
So there is absolutely no windows software needed anymore.
LinOTP now is available as an opensource Community Edition and a more feature full Enterprise Edition.
LinOTP works with the Aladdin eTokenNG OTP and all other devices supporting the HMAC-SHA1 defined in RFC4226 which might be:
- eToken PASS
- LSE mobileOTP solution for smartphones.
Possible applications can be all services were a RADIUS based authentication is done (see HowTos/Linux_and_OTP), which might be Firewalls, Websites, VPN, pam_radius or Terminal Server authentication using LSE's own RadiusGina.
