Looking for a C developer to create a WIKID PAM module
Posted by: admin 12 years, 7 months ago
We're interested in development of a wAuth C library and a WiKID PAM module that can be packaged for the major flavors of Linux. The module should allow users to be authenticated using wAuth to a WiKID two-factor authentication server and include support for the offline challenge-response mechanism. Documentation on the wAuth API is available and examples of other wAuth API packages (Java, C#, PHP, Ruby & Python) are also available. Familiarity with PAM and C are probably more helpful than knowledge of two-factor authentication. The license for the packages will be GPL.
