How to use the OTP login extension
Configuring OTP login for a user
Note that this is something that each user need to do themselves. This can't be done by the server administrator. A smartphone or similar device that has the capability to read a barcode is needed. The device must also be able to run some an app for generating one-time passwords. For example, the FreeOTP app is available for both Anroid and iOS.
- Go the login page of the BASE installation.
- Click on the link for setting up OTP. A popup dialog window should be opened.
- Fill in your username in the Login field and your password in the Password field.
- A QR code should automatically be generated. Use the OTP app on your device to scan the QR code. It should automatically configure a record with the settings that are needed.
- You also have the possibility to change your password, but this is an optional step.
- Let the OTP app generate a one-time passcode. Enter it in the One-time passcode field.
- Click on Save.
- If something goes wrong and you have to start over you should delete the entry in your OTP app before restarting the setup.
Logging in
Once a user has configured OTP (see below), that user must always login with OTP.
- Type in the regular username in the Login field.
- Use the configured device (eg. smartphone) to generate the one-time passcode. It should be 6 digits.
- Type the number into the One-time passcode field and click Login.
- Note the regular password is not needed.
Remove OTP from a user account
This can only be done by a server administrator.
- Go to the Administrate->Users list, locate the user and and open the edit dialog.
- Switch to the Additional info tab, and clear the OTP Key field.
- Save.
