About LinOTP

LinOTP is truly open in two ways. Its modules and components are licensed under the AGPLv3 and give you a complete working open-source solution for strong multi-factor authentication.

But LinOTP also uses an open and modular architecture. LinOTP aims not to lock you into any particular authentication method or protocol or user information storage.

LinOTP accommodates many different OTP algorithms using a modular approach. This includes the OATH standards such as HMAC (RFC 4226) and time-based HMAC. But LinOTP's design makes it easy to create your own tokens with different algorithms, including challenge-response tokens, tokens based on QR codes, and tokens based on push-type messages.

Other components like the LinOTP authentication modules or the LinOTP administration clients make it easy to integrate strong multi-factor authentication into your environment.

This package contains the LinOTP Command-Line Administration Client, which lets you manage a LinOTP server from the command line. It is supremely uninteresting unless you have a LinOTP server running on your network.

IMPORTANT: This program has been around for a while and hasn't been looked at a lot in recent days. Stuff may work but then again it may not. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
