Administering the Access Security Gateway (ASG)

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.

    Authentication type Access ID required
    ASG ASG challenge/response
    Password System password
    Blocked no access allowed

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.
