|
Two-factor authentication also known as 2FA or 2-Step Verification is an authentication
|
|
method that requires two components, such as a pin/password + a token.
|
|
|
|
OPNsense (version >=16.1.14) offers support for Two-factor authentication throughout
|
|
the entire system, with one exception being console/ssh access.
|
|
|
|
Supported services are:
|
|
|
|
* OPNsense Graphical User Interface
|
|
* Captive Portal
|
|
* Virtual Private Networking - OpenVPN & IPsec
|
|
* Caching Proxy
|

GUI Fallback Configuration
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
To prevent GUI lockout due to unavailable remote authentication server, the system
|
|
has a default fallback to the local database. In case of 2FA for the GUI one needs
|
|
to disable the fallback option to make sure no local user can gain access without 2FA.

Time-based One-time Password
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
TOTP is an algorithm that computes a one-time password from a shared secret key
|
|
and the current time. OPNsense supports RFC 6238.

|
Google Authenticator
|
|
--------------------
|
|
OPNsense fully supports the use of Google's Authenticator application.
|
|
This application can generate tokens on Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS.
|
|
The usage of this application is free and very simple to setup using OPNsense.
|
|

|
Other TOTP tokens
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The 2FA feature can be used with any time based one-time password token, although
|
|
it may be necessary to convert the tokens seed to the used format (base32).
