How to use the middleware

Apache

After you have compiled it you should place it in a location like /usr/bin/

Then add a link to Apache that looks like this:

DefineExternalAuth otpauth pipe /usr/bin/otpcheck

Then for any directive that you want to use OTP auth with just use the following directives:

AuthExternal otpauth
AuthBasicProvider external

All together it should look like the following:

AuthName "Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthExternal otpauth
AuthBasicProvider external

Config file

Currently the location of the config file is hardcoded to /etc/apache2/configotp

The config file has the following format:

dbtype mysql
dbhost localhost
dbport 3306
dbuser root
dbpass root
dbtable table
dbname db1
