How to log in with ASG

When you begin a remote session with a Message Storage Server (MSS) that has the Access Security Gateway (ASG) feature activated, the system prompts you with a challenge.

1. Enter your login ID at the login prompt.

   The terminal screen displays the following message:

   Challenge: xxxxxxx
   Response

2. Press Enter ( ) on the ASG Key to start the ASG Key.

   The ASG Key displays the following message:

   PIN

3. On the ASG Key, type your PIN and press Enter ( ).
4. On the ASG Key, type the challenge number that is displayed on the terminal screen, and press Enter ( ).

   The ASG Key displays the unique, 7-digit response number that corresponds to the challenge number you entered. The challenge and response numbers are valid for this session only.

5. On the terminal screen at the Response prompt, enter the response number that is displayed on the ASG Key.

   If the authentication process is successful, the system displays the Messaging Administration main menu for the sa login or the Messaging Administration main menu (vm login version) for the vm login. If the authentication process fails, the system makes an entry in the system History Log and displays the following message:

   INVALID LOGIN

   After a certain number of unsuccessful attempts, which is set in the Login security violation warning administration page, a warning alarm is generated.
