NAME

Authen::OPIE - Perl module for opie (onetime password in everything)

SYNOPSIS

  use Authen::OPIE qw(opie_challenge, opie_verify);

  $challenge = opie_challenge($login);
  $result = opie_verify($login, $response);

DESCRIPTION

This module gives perl access to the challenge and verify aspects of the opie library. To issue a challenge you pass the login name to opie_challenge it returns a string like otp-md5 2390 ra5690 ext. This is the challenge you pass on to whatever is communicating with you. In return you'll get a response from them with which you call opie_verify. opie_verify returns a 0 if it is the proper response to the challenge (they passed) and 1 otherwise (they failed).

opie is available from http://www.inner.net/opie opie must be installed and set up on the box before this module is useful (though be aware that you might not want to do a straight install as opie replaces su and login).

When running the test you can use opiekey to generate a response to the challenge.
