Changing the ASG secret key number for an ASG login

The Access Security Gateway (ASG) secret key number is used by the system and by the ASG Key hand-held device to create challenge response pairs of numbers. If an ASG secret key number is lost or compromised, it must be changed in the system and in all associated ASG Key hand-held devices.

To change the ASG secret key number:

  1. On the ASG Security Login Administration page, select the ASG login ID from the Login ID drop-down menu.
  2. Select ASG from the Authentication Type drop-down list to activate ASG authentication.
  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. This selection requires that you type a secret key in the Secret Key field. The secret key must be 20 numeric digits and must only use numbers between 0 and 7.
  2. If you selected User Entered Key from the Secret Key Action drop-down list, complete the Secret Key field.

    For more information, click the field names or Help on the web-based administration page.
  3. Click Save.

    A confirmation page displays the ASG secret key number that must be entered into the ASG Key hand-held device.
