3471 | 38 ## Configuration |
39 | |
40 Firest you need to enable the relevant modules to your Prosody.cfg file. | |
41 | |
42 Look for the line `modules_enabled` (either globally or for your | |
43 particular `VirtualHost`), and then add the following to tokens: | |

46 -- Token authentication | |
47 "auth_token"; | |
48 "sasl_token"; | |
49 } | |
50 | |
51 The previously generated token values also need to go into your Prosody.cfg file: | |
52 | |
53 authentication = "token"; | |
54 token_secret = "JYXEX4IQOEYFYQ2S3MC5P4ZT4SDHYEA7"; | |
55 otp_seed = "XVGR73KMZH2M4XMY"; | |

71 ## Generating the token | |
72 | |
73 Here's a Python snippet showing how you can generate the token that Prosody | |
74 will then verify: | |
75 | |
76 import base64 | |
77 import pyotp | |
78 import random | |
79 | |
80 # Constants | |
81 OTP_INTERVAL = 30 | |
82 OTP_DIGITS = 8 | |
83 | |
84 jid = '{}@{}'.format(username, domain) | |
85 | |
86 otp_service = pyotp.TOTP( | |
87 OTP_SEED, # OTP_SEED must be set to the value generated previously (see above) | |
88 digits=OTP_DIGITS, | |
89 interval=OTP_INTERVAL | |
90 ) | |
91 otp = otp_service.generate_otp(otp_service.timecode(datetime.utcnow())) | |
92 | |
93 nonce = ''.join([str(random.randint(0, 9)) for i in range(32)]) | |
94 string_to_sign = otp + nonce + jid | |
95 signature = hmac.new(token_secret, string_to_sign, hashlib.sha256).digest() | |
96 token = u"{} {}".format(otp+nonce, base64.b64encode(signature)) | |
