6.1.1.2.1.2. linotp.controllers.admin module

admin controller - interfaces to administrate LinOTP

class linotp.controllers.admin.AdminController(*args, **kw)[source]

Bases: linotp.lib.base.BaseController

The linotp.controllers are the implementation of the web-API to talk to the LinOTP server. The AdminController is used for administrative tasks like adding tokens to LinOTP, assigning tokens or revoking tokens. The functions of the AdminController are invoked like this

https://server/admin/<functionname>

The functions are described below in more detail.
