RADIUS TOTP Setup

[Nemanja Simpraga]

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the answer! I will have to look a bit further into what you suggested, but I will probably be back with more questions as soon as I have a few concrete ones. Heard you guys like those over here 😊 Cheers!

Best regards,

Hello Nemanja,

all external OTP solutions like multiOTP or LinOTP (I would however recommend privacyIDEA, since I am working on this ;-) come as a plugin to FreeRADIUS.
See
https://privacyidea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/application_plugins/rlm_perl.html

You could have all the logic in this plugin, but usually you have a plugin that does the glue code and communicates to the OTP server.

You then would configure FreeRADIUS s.th. like this:

~~~~
authenticate {
     Auth-Type Perl {
        perl  # This would e.g. communicate to the OTP server
     }
     digest
     unix
}
~~~~

The OTP server then would verify the credentials, communicate back to the rlm which then would cause an ACCESS_ACCEPT, ACCESS_REJECT or ACCESS_CHALLENGE.
Yes, even ACCESS_CHALLENGE can be supported, this way a user can login with a static password, which would cause an ACCESS_CHALLENGE and then the user would have to provide his TOTP.

If Bitwarden simply generates TOTP codes, you can import the **seed** of the token to your MFA management system.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards
Cornelius
