From: Simon Rozman <si...@rozman.si> Authentication tokens are security enhancement eliminating client need to cache passwords, and are indispensable at two factor authentication methods, such as HOTP or TOTP.
The ">PASSWORD:Auth-Token" message was not mentioned anywhere in the OpenVPN Management Interface Notes. This patch adds a simple use case example, while the more detailed feature description remains explained in the OpenVPN manual. --- doc/management-notes.txt | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/management-notes.txt b/doc/management-notes.txt index 0e7a7d4..c31ff5c 100644 --- a/doc/management-notes.txt +++ b/doc/management-notes.txt @@ -317,6 +317,13 @@ COMMAND -- password and username >PASSWORD:Verification Failed: 'custom server-generated string' + Example 6: If server pushes --auth-token to the client, the OpenVPN + will produce a real-time PASSWORD message: + + >PASSWORD:Auth-Token:foobar + + The client should replace the local password with the "foobar". + COMMAND -- forget-passwords --------------------------- -- 2.9.0.windows.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
