slapo-otp - OATH One-Time Password module
moduleload otp.la
The otp module allows time-based one-time password, AKA
"authenticator-style", and HMAC-based one-time password
authentication to be used in conjunction with a standard LDAP
password for two-factor authentication.
With this module, users would use their password, followed with
the one-time password in the password prompt to authenticate.
The password needed for a user to authenticate is calculated
based on a counter (current time in case of TOTP) and a key that
is referenced in the user's LDAP entry. Since the password is
based on the time or number of uses, it changes periodically.
Once used, it cannot be used again so keyloggers and shoulder-
surfers are thwarted. A mobile phone application, such as the
Google Authenticator or YubiKey (a prover), can be used to
calculate the user's current one-time password, which is
expressed as a (usually six-digit) number.
Alternatively, the value can be calculated by some other
application with access to the user's key and delivered to the
user through SMS or some other channel. When prompted to
authenticate, the user merely appends the code provided by the
prover at the end of their password when authenticating.
This implementation complies with RFC 4226 HOTP HMAC-Based One
Time Passwords and RFC 6238 TOTP Time-based One Time Passwords
and includes support for the SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 HMAC
algorithms.
The HMAC key used in the OTP computation is stored in the
oathOTPToken entry referenced in the user's LDAP entry and the
parameters are stored in the oathOTPParams LDAP entry referenced
in the token.
Once the module is configured on the database, it will intercept
LDAP simple binds for users whose LDAP entry has any of the
oathOTPUser derived objectlasses attached to it. The attributes
linking the user and the shared secret are:
oathTOTPToken: <dn>
Mandatory for oathTOTPUser, indicates that the
named entry is designated to hold the time-based
one-time password shared secret and the last
password used.
oathHOTPToken: <dn>
Mandatory for oathHOTPUser, indicates that the
named entry is designated to hold the one-time
password shared secret and the last password used.
oathTOTPParams: <dn>
Mandatory for oathTOTPToken, indicates that the
named entry is designated to hold the parameters to
generate time-based one-time password shared
secret: its length and algorithm to use as well as
the length of each time step and the grace period.
oathHOTPParams: <dn>
Mandatory for oathHOTPToken, indicates that the
named entry is designated to hold the parameters to
generate one-time password shared secret: its
length and algorithm to use as well as the
permitted number of passwords to skip.
The following parts of the OATH-LDAP schema are implemented.
General attributes:
oathSecret: <data>
The shared secret is stored here as raw bytes.
oathOTPLength: <length>
The password length, usually 6.
oathHMACAlgorithm: <OID>
The OID of the hash algorithm to use as defined in
RFC 8018. Supported algorithms include SHA1,
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512.
The HOTP attributes:
oathHOTPLookAhead: <number>
The number of successive HOTP tokens that can be
skipped.
oathHOTPCounter: <number>
The order of the last HOTP token successfully
redeemed by the user.
The TOTP attributes:
oathTOTPTimeStepPeriod: <seconds>
The length of the time-step period for TOTP
calculation.
oathTOTPLastTimeStep: <number>
The order of the last TOTP token successfully
redeemed by the user.
oathTOTPTimeStepWindow: <number>
The number of time periods around the current time
to try when checking the password provided by the
user.
oathTOTPTimeStepDrift: <number>
If the client didn't provide the correct token but
it still fit with oathTOTPTimeStepWindow above,
this attribute records the current offset to
provide for slow clock drift of the client device.

This work was developed by Ondřej Kuzník and Howard Chu of Symas
Corporation for inclusion in OpenLDAP Software.
This work reuses the OATH-LDAP schema developed by Michael
Ströder.
