38 The PAM module can utilize the HMAC-SHA1 Challenge-Response mode found
39 in YubiKeys starting with version 2.2 for offline authentication. This
40 action creates the initial state information with the C/R to be issued
41 at the next logon.
42
43 The utility currently outputs the state information to a file in the
44 current user’s home directory (~/.yubico/challenge-123456 for a YubiKey
45 with serial number API readout enabled, and ~/.yubico/challenge for one
46 without).
47
48 The PAM module supports a system wide directory for these state files
49 (in case the user’s home directories are encrypted), but in a system
50 wide directory, the challenge part should be replaced with the
51 username. Example : /var/yubico/challenges/alice-123456.
52
53 To use the system-wide mode, you currently have to move the generated
54 state files manually and configure the PAM module accordingly.
55
57 First, program a YubiKey for challenge response on Slot 2 :
58
59 $ ykpersonalize -2 -ochal-resp -ochal-hmac -ohmac-lt64 -oserial-api-visible
60 ...
61 Commit? (y/n) [n]: y
62
63 Now, set the current user to require this YubiKey for logon :
64
65 $ ykpamcfg -2 -v
66 ...
67 Stored initial challenge and expected response in '/home/alice/.yubico/challenge-123456'.
68
69 Then, configure authentication with PAM for example like this (make a
70 backup first) :
71
72 /etc/pam.d/common-auth (from Ubuntu 10.10) :
73
74 auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass
75 auth [success=1 new_authtok_reqd=ok ignore=ignore default=die] pam_yubico.so mode=challenge-response
76 auth requisite pam_deny.so
77 auth required pam_permit.so
78 auth optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap
