I can confirm this bug on our local installation. Existing users can still log in, however when new Users (from the LDAP-Backend) are required to set up their TOTP-App, the resulting QR-Code will show as invalid in FreeOTP+

The log shows the following info:

This installation has been around since NC19, and we have had TOTP activated ever since.

If you need additional information, i would be happy to help.

Thank you for your work!

I had the same issue but for me it was solved by fixing the servertime and mounting /etc/localtime into the docker container as there was a time drift of 6 minutes.
For longtime solution I installed and configured chrony as NTP synchronization daemon.

brotkastn · 2022-01-21T11:23:40Z

Hello Andrwe,

I had the same issue but for me it was solved by fixing the servertime and mounting /etc/localtime into the docker container as there was a time drift of 6 minutes. For longtime solution I installed and configured chrony as NTP synchronization daemon.

I do not think that this is the same issue. I have installed Nextcloud on its own Vbuntu 21.10 VM, and have time-synchronization working. If the time on the server would be wrong, the TOTP-codes generated for the other users would no longer be correct.

In this case, only the first-time-setup of the TOTP does not work, and there are informations missing to generate a full token, as can be seen by the error thrown in the log.

Thank you though for your help in trying to solve our problem!

I have the same problems here. For local users it is works. Not for ldap users.

Hello,

I managed to solve with the NTP server configured, using

Google authenticator
TOTP auth
With FreeOTP I get a QR invalid error.

I also had that error notification.

This is my nextcloud version

TOTP enabled!

buhanovserg · 2024-01-14T16:20:35Z

Thanks for the advice, it really helped, thank you so much, you helped out!

rucko24 · 2024-01-14T16:36:55Z

Thanks for the advice, it really helped, thank you so much, you helped out!

LMAO, hahaha it really worked for you? i can't believe it.

In the end my problem like yours was the time, which must be the same on both server and client and so on.

buhanovserg · 2024-01-19T19:47:37Z

Thank you very much! Everything works fine. To be honest, I didn't even think about it, I thought that the problem was completely different, I wouldn't have figured it out myself.
