privacyIDEA ownCloud App in the market place

NetKnights published the privacyIDEA ownCloud App in version 2.6 in the ownCloud market place. Users can now login with a Push notification as second factor to ownCloud.

To achieve this the privacyIDEA server version 3.2 must be installed in the background. Push notifications are sent to smartphones running the privacyIDEA Authenticator App.

Messages between the privacyIDEA server and the smartphone app are digitally signed. This way evesdroppers can not manipulate the communication or run replay attacks.
