Logging in via Access Security Gateway
(Session Establishment)
Use the following procedure to log in to the system via the Access Security
Gateway interface:
NOTE:
The numbers shown as challenges and responses in the procedures below
are for example purposes only. They will not be the numbers you actually
use or see on your ASG Key.
1. Connect to the DEFINITY ECS system administration/maintenance port.
The system responds with the login prompt.
2. At the prompt, type your valid login ID and press
Return.
The system verifies the login ID and transmits the CHALLENGE in the form
of a 7-digit number, for instance,
5551234.
3. Turn on your ASG Key, press the button labeled Red in order to enter
Authentication Mode, type your PIN number, and press Enter.
The ASG Key responds with a challenge prompt.
4. On the ASG Key, at the challenge prompt, type the 7-digit challenge
number you see on your PC (leave out the “-”, for instance, 5552739) and
press
Enter.
The ASG Key generates a RESPONSE number (for instance
999-6713).
5. On the PC, at the Response prompt, type the response number generated
by the ASG Key (leave out the “-”, for instance, 9996713) and press Return.
DEFINITY ECS verifies the response. If correct, DEFINITY logs you on. If
the response is incorrect, return to Step 1.
NOTE:
Only three login/challenge/response attempts are permitted. If the user is
not authenticated after the third response, the user sees the message
“INVALID LOGIN” and the session will be terminated. If this happens, see
the appropriate maintenance book for your system (R6r, R6vs/si, or R6csi).
