ASG Security login administration screen

This screen lets you administer Access Security Gateway (ASG) or view users by using Display.

ASG provides strong authentication for the system logins. It protects the Avaya IR system by challenging each potential dial-up session user when both of the following conditions are met:

The authentication type is set to ASG for that particular login.
ASG port validation is enabled for the dial-up port that the caller is trying to access.

The following table shows how port validation depends upon authentication type:ďż˝


ďż˝Authentication Typeďż˝	Port Validation Enabled	Port Validation Disabled
ASG	ASG Challenge/Response	UNIX system password
UNIX	UNIX system password	UNIX system password
blank	no access allowed	UNIX system password

To respond to the ASG challenge, the user must have a hand-held device, called the ASG Key. The ASG Key must be set with an ASG secret key number that matches that of the user's ASG secret key number in the Avaya IR system. The handheld device can support only a single secret key, without re-administering the key. Also, users can purchase ASG mobile for the site if they have multiple systems.
