How to use OATHAuth in Mediawiki
- Configure OATHAuth.
To configure your Mediawiki instance to allow users to enable two-factor authentication simple add
wfLoadExtension( 'OATHAuth' );
to the end of the LocalSettings.php file located in the root of the MediwWiki directory.
I added the OATHAuth extension to this Mediawiki instance. This means that you can enable two-factor authentication to your profile to further secure your login procedure. There are a number of OATH clients on the market, but I decided to just install the oathtool command line tool on my Fedora based laptop, by running
sudo dnf install oathtool.x86_64
I'll document how to register for 2FA here tomorrow. It's too late tonight.
I then run
oathtool --base32 --totp "REGISTERED KEY GOES HERE"
Which generates a 6 digit code to give to mediawiki when prompted.
