We currently use plugin-auth-pam which talks to pam_radius, and that one talks to a Kobil Secure-something server that does the actual OTP validation. The reason we do it that way is "it worked" :-) - and we use the same authentication backend for SSH, so pam_radius solved both OpenVPN and SSH authentication in one go. Using radiusplugin might have been nicer for OpenVPN, but "openvpn only". We do not use challenge (static or dynamic) today, as we did not know that these exist when building the system - so the user enters his "token + PIN" as one string into the "Password:" field, and the Kobil RADIUS backend knows which bits are which. Challenge would definitely be nicer, but I totally lack time to work on that - "it works as it is", so the pressure to build something "better" is small. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
