At the moment, there's only 4-pass with OTP sent in the request.
There's also no support for PIN change.  It's been tested with software
HOTP tokens and Yubikey in OATH mode as well as "yubikey" mode.

IPA being the generic term "identity and policy management" or something
more specific?

All KDC configuration goes into krb5.conf and the kdb.  OTP verification
is being done by external services like a http server or a "yubikey
server" (which both need some configuration, naturally).

I've been thinking of doing a native HOTP implementation, unless some
other kind of device comes my way first.  This might be good for a more
autonomous test environment.
