FreeIPA MFA and smart cards

Strong authentication in FreeIPA: OTP tokens, RADIUS proxying, smart cards and certificate mapping, authentication indicators and the Kerberos settings MFA depends on.

FreeIPA OTP tokens with TOTP, HOTP and YubiKeys

Rolling out FreeIPA two-factor authentication with software TOTP apps and hardware tokens such as YubiKeys: enabling OTP per user or globally, token enrollment, and recovery when tokens are lost.

FreeIPA smart card authentication

Configuring FreeIPA servers and clients for smart card login: ipa-advise scripts, storing certificates or mapping data on user entries, GDM and su login, and Web UI smart card login quirks with TLS 1.3.

FreeIPA certificate mapping rules

Matching smart card certificates to FreeIPA users without storing full certificates: matching and mapping rules, domain lists, priorities, and the KDC cache delay after changes.

Offline OTP login with SSSD

Making OTP-protected logins work on laptops that go offline: the online first-login requirement, separate password and OTP entry, cache settings and minimum password length.
