ungleich-otp

The ungleich OTP service that allows you access to the ungleich micro service infrastructure.

We are using

• nameko for internal communication
• django for the DB + admin interface

Status

In development, pre production.

Usage: WEB

• No user interface (UI) supported (?) -> idea is to keep flow logic in ungleich-dynamicweb

Usage: BUS

RPC: verify(appid, token, appidtoverify, tokentoverify)

Verify whether the requesting app is authenticated. This is only allowed to be used for trusted appids.

Returns a JSON object:

Usage: REST

• Use an existing token to connect to the service

Usage: OTP

The seeds that you receive can be used for TOTP to authenticate your apps.

Database

The database saves a list of appids with their seeds and the user assignments as well as whether the appid might use the BUS interface.

Fields:

• appname (name chosen by the user)
• appid (a random UUID)
• seed (a random base32 string)
• username (who this appid belongs to)
• trusted (boolean, whether app is allowed to use the BUS)
