Adding an ASG login

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

To add a new Access Security Gateway (ASG) login to your system:

  1. On the ASG Security Login Administration page, select the login from the Login ID drop-down menu.
  2. 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 password protection. See Password administration guidelines for more information.

  1. Do one of the following in the Secret Key Action drop-down list:
    • Select System Generated Key to have the system randomly generate an ASG secret key number. Then leave the Secret Key field blank.
    • Select User Entered Key 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. The secret key must be 20 numeric digits and must only use numbers between 0 and 7.
    • Select Keep Previous Key if you want to use the previous value for the secret key. This option is intended for use when the authentication type has been changed from ASG to Password and you want to change it back to ASG and retain the previous value you used for the secret key.

    For more information about this web-based administration page, click the field names or Help.

  2. Click Save.
  3. 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.
