OTPdoor is a Python library for creating and managing OTP (One-Time Password) authentication with nginx.
Project description
OTPdoor
OTPdoor is a premium, lightweight Python library for creating and managing TOTP (One-Time Password) authentication, specifically designed to be used as an auth_request backend for Nginx.
It provides a modern, glassmorphic UI for user login and a dedicated configuration portal for initial setup and device provisioning.
Features
- Multi-Domain Support: Protect multiple independent applications with a single OTPdoor instance, each with its own secret and settings.
- TOTP Authentication: Industry-standard Time-based One-Time Passwords (RFC 6238).
- Premium UI: Modern, glassmorphic design with support for Light and Dark modes.
- Runtime Configuration: Update session durations and TOTP secrets on the fly via the
/_configendpoint. - Flexible Sessions: Configure session duration in seconds, minutes, or hours.
- Security First:
- Secure, encrypted session cookies using Fernet (AES-128).
- Restricted configuration mode with explicit CLI activation and warnings.
- Safety confirmation dialogs for critical actions.
- Production Ready: Powered by Waitress, a stable production-grade WSGI server.
- Easy Provisioning: Built-in QR code generation for quick configuration with apps like Google Authenticator or Authy.
Installation
Install OTPdoor using pip:
pip install otpdoor
Quick Start
1. Installation
pip install otpdoor
2. Launch
export OTPDOOR_COOKIE_SECRET="your-secure-key"
python -m otpdoor -c
3. Setup via Browser
- Navigate to
http://localhost:8080/_config.
[!CAUTION] SECURITY REQUIREMENT: Log in with the default secret
BASE32SECRET3232and Immediately generate a new secret for thedefaultdomain. Never leave the default secret active after initial setup.
- Scan this QR for quick access:
- Use the "Create New Domain" section to add other applications.
[!IMPORTANT] Access to the configuration portal now requires a valid authentication session for the
defaultdomain.
Multi-Domain Support
OTPdoor allows you to manage multiple independent authentication domains. Each domain has its own secret, session duration, and theme. Configurations are encrypted and persisted in otpdoor_config.json.
Managing Domains
- Add a domain:
python -m otpdoor --add-domain myapp - List domains:
python -m otpdoor --list-domains
Using Domains in URLs
Access routes for a specific domain by adding the domain parameter:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/_auth?domain=myapphttp://127.0.0.1:8080/_check?domain=myapphttp://127.0.0.1:8080/_config?domain=myapp
If no domain is provided, it defaults to default.
5. Nginx Configuration (Multi-Domain)
To protect a specific app (myapp), pass the domain parameter in the proxy requests:
upstream otpdoor_backend {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name myapp.example.com;
location / {
# Pass the domain to the check endpoint
auth_request /_check;
error_page 401 = @error401;
proxy_pass http://your_app_backend;
}
location = /_check {
internal;
# Pass domain=myapp to use the correct secret
proxy_pass http://otpdoor_backend/_check?domain=myapp;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
}
location /_auth {
# Pass domain=myapp so the login page uses the correct configuration
proxy_pass http://otpdoor_backend/_auth?domain=myapp;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
location @error401 {
# Redirect to the domain-specific auth page
return 302 $scheme://$http_host/_auth?domain=myapp&originator=$request_uri;
}
}
Configuration Reference
OTPDOOR_TOTP_SECRET: Shared secret for thedefaultdomain.OTPDOOR_COOKIE_SECRET: Key used to encrypt session cookies.OTPDOOR_CONFIG_FILE: Path to the JSON configuration file (default:otpdoor_config.json).OTPDOOR_SESSION_DURATION: Default session duration in seconds.OTPDOOR_THEME: Default theme (darkorlight).OTPDOOR_ALLOWED_DOMAINS: Allowed domains for redirects.OTPDOOR_COOKIE_SECURE: Set tofalsefor local HTTP testing.
