The current status of the MTAC indicates whether or not it can be used to generate passwords and if so, for how many
passwords it can be used. Possible status values are in Table 5-11.
The status will be filled in when the wizard is initialized, when MTACs are added or modified, and after passwords are
generated. Retrieving the status can be slow since it has to go to the WebGen server. During this time, the buttons in this
panel will be disabled and this popup dialog will show the status of the retrieval on an MTAC-by-MTAC basis
When a row of the table is selected with the cursor, the modifiable details of the selected MTAC are displayed in the fields
below the table. Changes are committed with the Modify button. If an MTAC id is changed, the previous id will be deleted
and replaced with the new id
New MTACs can be added with the Add button. MTACs with duplicate ids cannot be added. All fields (MTAC, Password,
and Type) are mandatory. A new MTAC can be added by modifying an existing MTAC. As opposed to the Modify button, the
Add button will keep the previous id and add the new id.
It is important that the correct Type is entered by the customer. In most cases, using the wrong Type will prevent password
generation with no obvious errors other than a message at the end of the last wizard panel indicating either no passwords
were generated or less were generated than attempted.
