One-time Password Authentication on the
OnBoard
OPIE (one-time passwords in everything) software (www.inner.netpub/
opie) on the OnBoard supports the one-time password (OTP) authentication
method for certain types of access. This section describes the options the
administrator has for configuring OTP authentication.
The OnBoard root user must do the initial configuration manually (not
through the Web Manager). The following table lists the configuration tasks
and where they are documented.
Configure either an external modem
connected to an AUX port, or a modem or
GSM or CDMA phone PCMCIA card for
dial-in logins with OTP authentication, and
give users the OTP information they need to
be authenticated for dial--ins.
