LOGIN_DUO(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      LOGIN_DUO(8)

NAME
login_duo -- second-factor authentication via Duo login service SYNOPSIS
login_duo [-d] [-c file] [-h host] [-f user] [command [args...]] DESCRIPTION
login_duo provides secondary authentication via the Duo authentication service, executing the user's login shell or command only if success- ful. The following options are available: -c Specify an alternate configuration file to load. Default is /etc/duo/login_duo.conf -d Debug mode; send logs to stderr instead of syslog. -h Specify the remote IP address for this login (normally taken from the SSH_CONNECTION environment variable, if set). -f Specify an alternate Duo user to authenticate as. If login_duo is installed setuid root (the default), these options are only available to the super-user. After successful Duo authentication, the user's login shell is invoked, or if an alternate command or SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment vari- able is specified, it will be executed via the user's shell with a -c option. CONFIGURATION
The INI-format configuration file must have a ``duo'' section with the following options: host Duo API host (required). ikey Duo integration key (required). skey Duo secret key (required). groups If specified, Duo authentication is required only for users whose primary group or supplementary group list matches one of the space-separated pattern-lists (see PATTERNS below). failmode On service or configuration errors that prevent Duo authentication, fail ``safe'' (allow access) or ``secure'' (deny access). Default is ``safe''. pushinfo Send command to be approved via Duo Push authentication. Default is ``no''. An example configuration file: [duo] host = api-deadbeef.duosecurity.com ikey = SI9F...53RI skey = 4MjR...Q2NmRiM2Q1Y pushinfo = yes If installed setuid root (the default), login_duo performs Duo authentication as a dedicated privilege separation user, requiring that the configuration file be owned and readable only by this user. PATTERNS
A pattern consists of zero or more non-whitespace characters, '*' (a wildcard that matches zero or more characters), or '?' (a wildcard that matches exactly one character). A pattern-list is a comma-separated list of patterns. Patterns within pattern-lists may be negated by preceding them with an exclamation mark ('!'). For example, to specify Duo authentication for all users (except those that are also admins), and for guests: groups = users,!wheel,!*admin guests EXAMPLES
login_duo can be enabled system-wide by specifying its full path as a ForceCommand in sshd_config(5) to capture any SSH remote login (includ- ing subsystems, remote commands, and interactive login): ForceCommand /usr/local/sbin/login_duo Similarly, a group of administrators could require two-factor authentication for login to a shared root account by specifying login_duo as the forced command for each public key in ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys: command="/usr/local/sbin/login_duo -f alice" ssh-rsa AAAAB2...19Q== alice@example.net command="/usr/local/sbin/login_duo -f bob" ssh-dss AAAAC3...51R== bob@example.net A user without root access could configure their own account to require Duo authentication via the same ~/.ssh/authorized_keys forced command mechanism and a user-installed (non-setuid) login_duo. FILES
/etc/duo/login_duo.conf Default configuration file path AUTHORS
login_duo was written by Duo Security <duo_unix@duosecurity.com> NOTES
When used to protect remote SSH access, only interactive sessions support interactive Duo login. For scp(1), sftp(1), rsync(1), and other ssh(1) remote commands, login_duo automatically tries the user's default out-of-band factor (smartphone push or voice callback) and disables real-time login progress reporting to provide a clean shell environment.
