The Access Security Gateway (ASG) provides the newest generation
of strong authentication for the Message Networking system logins. ASG protects
the Message Networking system by challenging each potential dial-up session user
when the authentication type is set to ASG for that particular login
(such as sa). The following table lists the types of authentication
supported on the system and the access ID required for each authentication
type.

In order to respond to the ASG challenge, the user must have a
handheld 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 Message Networking system.
