#4518 [RFE] Support OTP token images/thumbnails
Opened 9 years ago by mkosek. Modified 7 years ago

FreeOTP 1.5 supports OTP token thumbnail stored on the server and passed to FreeOTP via the QR code.

Add support to FreeIPA server side as well. This would require:

  • Creating new LDAP attribute holding the token
  • Adding CRUD to handle the attribute+image
  • Updating QR code generation code to add the URI to the image - which we would need to somehow make available for unauthenticated user, i.e. the mobile device downloading the image.

This RFE may be blocked by framework not being able to process file uploads - #1225.


We discussed this request, Nathaniel had a good point that we may choose to just store a URL string and let admin solve the hosting part. The images need to be available outside of firewall anyway which is often not the case for core FreeIPA.

Would it be possible to distribute those images via email?

You can always send URL by mail. The point is that the image is a part of the QR code which is a URL. The easiest solution will be to allow admin to record URL of the image not the image itself. TBD.

Processing leftovers from 4.2 backlog - this ticket was found as suitable for consideration in next big feature release - 4.4.
