#4023 Log the type of the auth token as string, not just number
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 4 years ago by yhal.

It would be helpful to diagnose second factor problems if we could check the user has tried entering it (or, say, using a client that does not support OTP). Something along the lines of:

    m[0].msg_style = PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF;
    m[0].msg = prompt_fa1;
    m[1].msg_style = PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF;
    m[1].msg = prompt_fa2;
    if (m[1].msg == NULL || strlen(m[1].msg) == 0) {
        D(("otp is empty or NULL"));
    }

Hi,

I can already see if only one or two factors were entered in the logs in the pam_print_data blocks:

(Tue Jun 11 15:07:12 2019) [sssd[pam]] [pam_print_data] (0x0100): command: SSS_PAM_AUTHENTICATE

(Tue Jun 11 15:07:12 2019) [sssd[pam]] [pam_print_data] (0x0100): flags: 2

where authtok type: 1 means single password and 3 means 2FA. Does this already help? If yes, I would use this ticket to not only print a number but a description as well.

Yep this is helpful. What does "authtok type: 0" mean? We have quite a few of these.

Hi,

as you might have guessed 0 means that there are no credentials in the current PAM data. Credentials are only used for authentication, so they are available only during SSS_PAM_AUTHENTICATE. All other steps like access control, pre-auth, open and close session do not need them an have authtok type: 0.

HTH

bye,
Sumit

Cheers,
