Description paul 2014-10-31 20:41:58 UTC
I have need to use the pam_google_authenticator.so to authenticate users who have been issued TOTP hardware tokens.  Unfortunately, the hardware tokens use a 60 second period and pam_google_authenticator is hardcoded for 30 second periods.  Searching for a solution, I ran across this set of patches:

  https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/issues/detail?id=192

I adapted it for security/pam_google_authenticator.  The patches are below

How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to use pam_google_authenticator with devices that use anything other than 30 second periods.

Fix:
Patch #1 for security/pam_google_authenticator/Makefile:

I also created a patch for pam_google_authenticator.c based on the URL in this PR's description.  The following diff needs to be dropped into the port as security/pam_google_authenticator/files/patch-pam_google_authenticator.c.

I tested these diffs with Feitian c200 TOTP tokens (http://www.ftsafe.com/product/otp/totp) and they work.
Comment 1 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-10-31 21:01:22 UTC
please resubmit the patches as attachments and *PLEASE* provide patches with unified format, e.g. "diff -u", not this format which is both barely readable and bugzilla viewer can't handle it.

Comment 5 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-01 08:07:13 UTC
Many thanks!
I see as a bonus we convert an existing patch to unified format.

I'm tweaking the title and notifying the maintainer that he has two weeks to respond, otherwise it's automatically approved.

(UPDATED) Unified diff for security/pam_google_authenticator/files/patch-pam_google_authenticator.c

I found a problem with my original patch for pam_google_authenticator.c.  I forgot to wrap the call to get_timestamp() inside of #if defined(STEPSIZE).  This is necessary since one of the versions of get_timestamp() requires arguments and the other does not.

This is an updated version of the diffs for pam_google_authenticator.c

One more try to get the format of the diff correct.  Sorry for the multiple updates.

Unified diff for security/pam_google_authenticator/files/patch-pam_google_authenticator.c

One final change to fix a bug that I found.  When STEPSIZE is enabled, but the user is using a default, 30 second TOTP token, then authentication was using a static time instead of being based on the current time.

And in the proper format this time.
Comment 10 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-14 12:59:37 UTC
I think you can replace

+.include <bsd.port.options.mk>
+
+.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MSTEPSIZE}
+CFLAGS+=	-DSTEPSIZE
+.endif


with:

STEPSIZE_CFLAGS= -DSTEPSIZE

You might want to verify and resubmit.

FYI, this PR will receive a maintainer timeout very soon.

Unified diff for security/pam_google_authenticator/Makefile

An updated version of the patch for security/pam_google_authenticator/Makefile that uses "STEPSIZE_CFLAGS" instead of ".if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MSTEPSIZE}"
Comment 12 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-19 09:30:13 UTC
Thanks, I'll promote this -- due to feedback timeout, maintainer approval no longer required.

For the future, having a single diff that updates multiple files is more convenient for the submitter, thanks.
