Overview
As a web service, LinOTP provides a REST-like web API.[3] All functions can be accessed via Pylons controllers. Responses are returned as a JSON object.
LinOTP is designed in a modular way, enabling user store modules and token modules. Thus, it is capable of supporting a wide range of different tokens.[4]
