Freeradius as a PIN server?

[Sušnik Rudolf]

Perhaps you may want delivering PIN to user's cellular over SMS. Anyway Freeradius seems not to be enough, at least you would need some external database and web server - both for creating and storing PINs. I did the task using FR, Apache and MySql. As I see, my concept is quite similar to Nick's one.

Regards, Rudolf.

I'm afraid knowledge of a PIN and knowledge of a password is not two-factor authentication, it is just more of a one-factor authentication.

Feel free to use our open-source two-factor authentication system:
