HP-UX AAA Server A.08.01 administrator's guide (T1428-90072, May 2010)

Table Of Contents
The following components required to configure OTP authentication are not provided
with the HP-UX AAA Server:
SQL database
OTP generators (typically, token devices or software that generates OTP) with
their inventory files (files that contain the shared secret and other token information)
Configuring OTP Authentication on the HP-UX AAA Server
The HP-UX AAA Server uses SQL Access, the FSM, and policy actions to support OTP
authentication. This feature offers the flexibility to customize OTP authentication
depending on the deployment scenarios.
Sample policy files are provided to simplify the process of configuring the HP-UX AAA
Server to provide password and OTP authentication.
If you are not using the basic or typical configuration (“Basic or Typical Configuration”)
append the contents of the sample OTP reference implementation files (located in
/opt/aaa/examples/config) to the default policy files (located in /etc/opt/aaa)
using the following commands:
# cat /opt/aaa/examples/config/oath-request-ingress.grp >> /etc/opt/aaa/request-ingress.grp
# cat /opt/aaa/examples/config/oath-reply-egress.grp >> /etc/opt/aaa/reply-egress.grp
# cat /opt/aaa/examples/config/oath-proxy-egress.grp >> /etc/opt/aaa/proxy-egress.grp
In addition, you must complete the necessary configuration to use SQL Access. For
more information, see Chapter 22 (page 338).
NOTE: The oath-proxy-egress.grp file is required only if you are proxying the
OTP or password to another RADIUS server.
OTP Authentication Configuration Flowchart
The OTP authentication configuration flowchart (Figure 16-2) included in this section
documents some common deployment scenarios. Read the scenarios discussed in the
flowchart against your deployment requirements and click the relevant links for more
information about the procedure to be followed.
To customize your deployment further, additional configuration attributes and items
are provided that can be configured on a per-user, per-realm, or on a system-wide
level. For more information on these attributes, see Attributes for Configuring OTP
Authentication” (page 192). For information on actions and customizing actions, see
Advanced OTP Authentication Configuration Concepts” (page 187).
