Two-factor Authentication on Linux Desktop
NetKnights GmbH provides interested customers with a beta version of the privacyIDEA Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for Linux. PAM is a system of authentication modules used on Linux, which can be combined in many ways. This means that the login behaviour on a Linux system can be highly customised. The privacyIDEA PAM maps the communication with the privacyIDEA server and enables the administrator to enforce a flexible two-factor login for users on Linux computers.
Authentication is performed against the privacyIDEA backend, in which the administrator manages all user tokens at a central location in their own network.

Supported Token Types
The PAM supports a broad group of tokens such as the usual OTP token, challenge-response tokens as well as PUSH and multi-challenge tokens.
Offline authentication is also possible with the privacyIDEA PAM. For example, users can authenticate themselves with HOTP tokens if the privacyIDEA server is not available. This is particularly useful if the user wants to log in to their Linux laptop with a smartphone HOTP token or a Yubikey while travelling.
Availability
We are currently offering the privacyIDEA PAM to our customers in a controlled manner, as we would also like to collect your feedback during this phase.
Please contact us via info@netknights.it if you would like to use the privacyIDEA PAM.
