Adding an ASG login

This topic provides information on adding an ASG login to the system.

Note: The default authentication type for sa is password, which requires the usual login and password. You must be logged in as sa to add an ASG login for sa.

To add a new ASG login to your system:

1. Start at the Administration menu, and select Basic Messaging Administration > Access Security Gateway (ASG) Security Administration > ASG Security Login Administration.
   The system displays the ASG Security Login Administration page. For information about the fields on this page, click Help.
2. Select the login from the Login ID: drop-down menu.
3. Select ASG from the Authentication Type? drop-down menu to activate ASG authentication.
   Note: If you select Password from the Authentication Type? drop-down menu, the system uses regular Message Networking password protection. See Guidelines for Passwords for more information.
4. Do one of the following in the System Generated Secret Key field:
   • Select Yes to have the system randomly generate an ASG secret key number. Then leave the Secret Key: field blank.
   • Select No if you want to enter the secret key that the system uses to generate ASG responses. Then type the secret key in the Secret Key: field.
   • Do not make a selection for the System Generated Secret Key field if you selected Password in the Authentication Type? field. Then leave the Secret Key: field blank, also.
5. Click Save to make the changes.
6. A confirmation page displays the ASG secret key number that must match the ASG Key when a user attempts to log in. The ASG secret key number must be entered into the ASG Key as Key1 or Key2.

7. Click Return to Main to return to the Administration menu.
