#6247 ipa otptoken-add --type=hotp --key creates wrong OTP
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by pvoborni.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1368981

Description of problem:

The option --key of ipa otptoken-add is documented to accept the key encoded in
Base32. In RHEL 7.2, this input value ended up Base32-encoded in the secret
parameter of the displayed otpauth://hotp/ URL and Base64-encoded in the Key
output of the ipa otptoken-add --type=hotp --key command and in the
ipatokenOTPkey.

In RHEL 7.3 nightly, the secret parameter of the otpauth: URL is different and
the Key and ipatokenOTPkey show exactly this Base32-encoded string.

The result is wrong codes generated by FreeOTP and failing authentication when
correct codes are used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ipa-server-4.4.0-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa otptoken-add --type=hotp --key and enter (paste)
GEZDGNBVGY3TQOJQGEZDGNBVGY3TQOJQ twice
2. ipa otptoken-find --raw --all

Actual results:
