[webmin-l] webmin 2fa w/ google / missing perl authen::OATH error

[Fabian A. S. <fsa...@ga...>]

Hello,

I'm running centos 7.4.1708 & webmin 1.870.

I'm trying to setup 2fa w/ google but it keeps complaining I'm missing perl authen::OATH. 

i have installed it already and restarted everything, even the server itself (it's a VPS). i have root shell access. i can also run:

perl -e 'use Authen::OATH;'

and it returns nothing which i understand means it's working. 

i installed it via CPAN.

Strange thing is I tried this on another server and it worked fine there. What is the difference here? The other server is identical. I installed webmin from the repo via yum on both. 

I'm scratching my head and feel lost....haha. Anyway, unsure how to proceed. anyone? Thanks.

That's unusual - can you post the full error message that you're getting in Webmin?

"Failed to save two-factor authentication : The Perl module Authen::OATH needed for two-factor authentication is not installed. Use the Perl Modules page in Webmin to install it."

If I try the perl modules pages it tries yum first futilely. Then tries Perl but it keeps failing there for missing dependencies. But if I check each one, they're installed (I tried the first couple and just assumed the rest and stopped).

That may be the real issue - the module is installed, but the dependencies are 
missing. If you SSH in as root and run :

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Authen::OATH'

does it work?

It claims already installed. 

There were no complaints when I installed it originally.

Try forcibly re-installing it with :

perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Authen::OATH'
