16.2.1.2.11. Questionnaire Token

class privacyidea.lib.tokens.questionnairetoken.QuestionnaireTokenClass(db_token)[source]

This is a Questionnaire Token. The token stores a list of questions and answers in the tokeninfo database table. The answers are encrypted. During authentication a random answer is selected and presented as challenge. The user has to remember and pass the right answer.

check_answer(given_answer, challenge_object)[source]

Check if the given answer is the answer to the sent question. The question for this challenge response was stored in the challenge_object.

Then we get the answer from the tokeninfo.

Parameters:
  • given_answer – The answer given by the user
  • challenge_object – The challenge object as stored in the database
Returns:

in case of success: 1

check_challenge_response(user=None, passw=None, options=None)[source]

This method verifies if there is a matching question for the given passw and also verifies if the answer is correct.

It then returns the the otp_counter = 1

Parameters:
  • user (User object) – the requesting user
  • passw (string) – the password - in fact it is the answer to the question
  • options (dict) – additional arguments from the request, which could be token specific. Usually “transaction_id”
Returns:

return otp_counter. If -1, challenge does not match

Return type:

int

create_challenge(transactionid=None, options=None)[source]

This method creates a challenge, which is submitted to the user. The submitted challenge will be preserved in the challenge database.

The challenge is a randomly selected question of the available questions for this token.

If no transaction id is given, the system will create a transaction id and return it, so that the response can refer to this transaction.

Parameters:
  • transactionid – the id of this challenge
  • options (dict) – the request context parameters / data
Returns:

tuple of (bool, message, transactionid, attributes)

Return type:

tuple

The return tuple builds up like this: bool if submit was successful; message which is displayed in the JSON response; additional attributes, which are displayed in the JSON response.
