WARNING

This package is orphaned. You should use the Perl code provided by Duo instead, since it will be more up-to-date with current features. I no longer maintain a large Duo deployment, and my current company uses Python instead. That said, I do still think this package provides a nicer object framework for the Duo API in Perl; if you agree, please feel free to adopt it and maintain it!

BLURB

Net::Duo provides an object-oriented Perl interface for the Duo Security REST APIs. It attempts to abstract some of the API details and provide an object-oriented view of the returned objects in order to make use of the API in Perl code more natural than dealing with JSON data structures directly. Currently, some parts of the Auth and Admin APIs are implemented alongside with generic methods to call any of the JSON-based APIs.

DESCRIPTION

Duo Security [1] is a cloud second-factor authentication service that supports a wide variety of different mechanisms for a user to establish a second authentication factor. It is intended to supplement local authentication systems, such as password-based authentication, with an unrelated second factor: possession of a device, or access to a phone. Duo Security provides direct integration with a variety of applications and a self-service web sign-up interface, but for more control, it also provides several RESTful APIs that can perform all possible actions on Duo accounts, users, and their devices.

This module implements a client for the Duo REST APIs. It differs from the sample Perl implementation provided by Duo in that it attempts to wrap the Duo data model and JSON information in Perl objects and provide logical and convenient methods on those objects to make writing Perl clients of Duo simpler and easier. It tries to abstract portions of the API, such as the endpoint URLs, that allow for more natural and less cluttered Perl code than manipulating the JSON data structures directly.

The API implementation is currently incomplete and contains just the calls required by Stanford's integration. Only the Auth and Admin APIs are implemented, and both are partial. However, the Net::Duo call, call_json, and call_json_paged methods can be used to make calls to APIs that aren't fully implemented.

REQUIREMENTS

Perl 5.14 or later and Module::Build 0.28 or later are required to build this module. The following additional Perl modules are required to use it:

All are available on CPAN.

BUILDING AND INSTALLATION

Net::Duo uses Module::Build and can be installed using the same process as any other Module::Build module:

    perl Build.PL
    ./Build
    ./Build install

You will have to run the last command as root unless you're installing into a local Perl module tree in your home directory.

TESTING

Net::Duo comes with a test suite, which you can run after building with:

    ./Build test

If a test fails, you can run a single test with verbose output via:

    ./Build test --test_files <path-to-test>

The following additional Perl modules will be used by the test suite if present:

All are available on CPAN. Those tests will be skipped if the modules are not available.

To enable tests that don't detect functionality problems but are used to sanity-check the release, set the environment variable RELEASE_TESTING to a true value. To enable tests that may be sensitive to the local environment or that produce a lot of false positives without uncovering many problems, set the environment variable AUTHOR_TESTING to a true value.

SUPPORT

The Net::Duo web page at:

    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/net-duo/

will always have the current version of this package, the current documentation, and pointers to any additional resources.

For bug tracking, use the CPAN bug tracker at:

    https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=Net-Duo

However, please be aware that I tend to be extremely busy and work projects often take priority. I'll save your report and get to it as soon as I can, but it may take me a couple of months.

SOURCE REPOSITORY

Net::Duo is maintained using Git. You can access the current source on GitHub at:

    https://github.com/rra/net-duo

or by cloning the repository at:

    https://git.eyrie.org/git/perl/net-duo.git

or view the repository via the web at:

    https://git.eyrie.org/?p=perl/net-duo.git

The eyrie.org repository is the canonical one, maintained by the author, but using GitHub is probably more convenient for most purposes. Pull requests are gratefully reviewed and normally accepted. It's probably better to use the CPAN bug tracker than GitHub issues, though, to keep all Perl module issues in the same place.
