How Users are Registered with OTP and Obtain OTP Passwords
The following procedure shows an example of an administrator logging in
locally through the console port, registering a user, and generating OTP
passwords for the user. The example shows using cycli to add the user, but
any of the tools available for adding users, including the Web Manager, may
be used to configure the user account beforehand.
T To Register and Generate OTP Passwords
for Users
Do this procedure for each user who needs to use OTP authentication after
doing one of the procedures under “Specifying the Location for the OTP
Databases” on page 64.
1. Log into the OnBoard’s console.
2. Make sure each user authorized for dial-ins has a local account on the
OnBoard
If using the cycli utility to add the user, do the following steps.
a. Add the user and set the user’s password.
The following screen example shows using the cycli utility to add
user joe and set the user’s password to joes_passwd.
b. If the user needs to access devices through the OnBoard, and you are
using the cycli utility, add the user as an onboard user.
Note: Adding users through the Web Manager adds them as normal UNIX
users and as OnBoard users without requiring a separate step.
[root@OnBoard /]# cycli
cli> add user joe
OK
cli> set user joe passwd joes_passwd
OK
