LinOTP Appliance Manual

This part describes the interface and usage of the LinOTP Appliance.

Note

Please note, that if using the Appliance some more indeep configurations (like direct editing the linotp.ini file) are not supported. You may login to a restricted shell on the appliance using the root password and perform certain operations (like setting up the redundancy) which are intended by us to be done in this mode and so fully supported. From there you could raise your access rights to a full root shell, but then you will enter an unsupported area on the appliance, since we can not guarantee that the appliance will work as designed afterwards.
