The API
While the Enterprise Edition comes with a C module for the FreeRADIUS Server, the Community Edition, that is licensed under the AGPLv3 does not. Nevertheless, LinOTP provides very simple WEB APIs that makes it easy to talk to LinOTP in many different ways. There is also an API to do authentication, i.e. to ask the LinOTP server if a given one time password for a certain user is valid. This is the URL
https://yourServer/validate/check?user=….&pass=….
or
https://yourServer/validate/simplecheck?user=…&pass=…
You can take a look at the complete API here.
The FreeRADIUS
The simple LinOTP API and some nice module of the FreeRADIUS make it easy to hack a simple solution for OTP via RADIUS. You could use the module rlm_exec to execute an external program but I’d rather use the module rlm_perl and add my limited perl knowlege 😉
The documentation of the rlm_perl module can be found here. It has a simple example, that we need to adapt only in the function authenticate. This is the point, where we need to talk to the LinOTP server (with the above URL) and repond according the the LinOTP feedback.
Solution
