3. First Steps

You installed eduMFA successfully according to Installation.

These first steps will guide you through the tasks of logging in to the management web UI, attaching your first users and enrolling the first token.

After these first steps you will be able to start attaching applications to eduMFA in order to add two factor authentication to those applications. You can

  • use a PAM module to authenticate with OTP at SSH or local login

  • or the RADIUS plugin to configure your firewall or VPN to use OTP,

  • or use an Apache2 plugin to do Basic Authentication with OTP.

  • You can also setup different web applications to use OTP.

To attach applications read the chapter application_plugins.

You may also go on reading the next chapter which gives an overview on the WebUI or you directly skip to Configuration to get a deeper insight in the configuration possibilities.
