LinOTP 2.3 went to Linuxtag in Berlin.

On the Linuxtag in Berlin we presented the new LinOTP 2.3. It was released on May 1st and besides many other things comes with a new great policy framework.

We had many interesting talks on the Linuxtag. We also got many ideas from the visitiors to come up with new interesting features.

Today we are proud to release LinOTP 2.1.

New key features are the multi client capability, self service, new tokens and redundancy in the Active Directory connection.

LSE LinOTP 2 is now licensed under the AGPLv3. The mulit client capability in mind, makes it now more sensible for ISPs and ASPs to use LinOTP 2.

To integrate client certificate authentication in OTRS more smoothly we provided an opm package, that can be easily installed.

A small authentication module for OTRS enables you to authenticate to OTRS by using a client certificate. Thus we get rid of all these passwords and add a bit more security.

Feel free to adapt it to your needs or make it more flexible.

Today we published ''LinOTP'', our solution for one time password authentication based on the HMAC OTP algorithm (RFC4226), as opensource. LSE LinOTP contained several code fragments that were already published under the GPLv2.

LSE LinOTP is now available as a Community Edition, which is completely licensed under GPLv2 and may be downloaded on this site.

In publishing the LSE LinOTP Community Edition we respond to several requests from interested Linux users and opened the strong two factor authentication for a wider community and made it available for non-commercial, non-enterprise use.

We keep testing current -git releases and 2.6.31 seems stable for most of our test cases. We submitted a fix for a memory leak in nfsd which was reported by kmemleak. Kmemleak hooks kmalloc, kfree and friends to track every memory allocation and deallocation. It periodically scans the kernel memory (allocated memory and the stacks of kernel threads) to check if there is still a pointer referencing the objects. If there is no pointer to one of the objects the code location (and stacktrace) where it was allocated along with a message is reported trough sysfs.

Another fix we submitted is for a corner case in EXT4, where the code tried to access the journal when generating an error message. The problem was triggered with a corrupt filesystem, where the journal could not be loaded during mount time and another corruption triggered the oops in the error message.

Apart from this, several other bugs got reported by us among them a lockdep miss-annotation in the tee system call which already got fixed.

We began our regularly testing of the Linux kernel last week. From now on, we will test the current development -git tree regularly on several systems to help stabilizing the tree and find as many bugs as possible before the stable kernel is released. For this we use several test-suites, amongst others the LTP, isic, a customized version of fsfuzzer and several other stress testing tools we found useful. A patch written by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior which fixes an issue we reported already made it into the crypto-dev tree. We will continue this process and once the tree gets more stable we hope be able to take a closer look at different issues ourselves and write further tests.
