FW: FreeRadius TOTP authenticate fail passcode validation

Hi there,



Thanks for the previous response. Now I came across with two different
problems, the first is with building the rlm_totp module and the second is
during decoding the totp secret.



I was able to get the correct totp and authenticate successfully even
though the make totp returned some errors. The passcode was indeed
incorrect because the module was generating the totp based on the system
time. I changed the mods-available/date and set utc=yes and that fixed the
problem (that was a misconfiguration on Universal Time vs System Time).


I tried to build the rlm_totp (make totp) and got the following errors on
undefined references ("fr_hmac_sha1" and "fr_digest_cmp"):



rlm_totp.c: In function ‘main’:

rlm_totp.c:336:44: warning: format ‘%llu’ expects argument of type ‘long
long unsigned int *’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t *’ {aka ‘long
unsigned int *’} [-Wformat=]

In the last email I was using a standard shared secret just for testing
purposes but my TOTP generator creates a 56 characters secret so I am using
that and getting this message - “totp: TOTP-Secret cannot be decoded”. I’ve
tried smaller secrets and it is always able to decode the secret which made
me wonder if you have any restrictions on the secret length?
