Introducing the Technician Interface
1-5
If you enable this feature on a router, you enter in addition to a login entry a
Secure ID passcode after the Passcode prompt, as follows:
Login:
<User
|
Manager>
Password:
<password>
(if enabled)
Passcode:
<passcode>
If your Secure ID administrator enables the Secure ID client on a router you need
to access, you see the Passcode prompt at login time. When you enter a valid
passcode, you receive Technician Interface login privileges to the router. You
receive on your Telnet access screen the Technician Interface login prompt, $: (or
whatever your network administrator selects for the Telnet login prompt).
Each User or Manager authorized to access a router configured with an active
Secure ID client must have an electronic Secure ID card issued by Security
Dynamics, Inc. Security Dynamics programs each card with a Personal
Identification Number (PIN) to uniquely identify its prospective owner, then
assigns the card for exclusive use by that person only.
If you do not have an assigned PIN, the Secure ID client on the router also
prompts you through a routine for PIN assignment. (The Secure ID administrator
for your network must first configure the ID system to allow you access to the PIN
assignment feature.) The Secure ID administrator can enable you either to select
your own PIN, or to accept a system-generated PIN.
The Secure ID card uses an internal algorithm to electronically generate
temporary “card codes.” Before allowing you access to the Technician Interface of
a router, the Secure ID client requires you to enter your PIN, followed by the
current card code from your Secure ID card.
The Secure ID server on your network either
• Recognizes your passcode and grants access to the router’s Technician
Interface
• Does not recognize your passcode and denies access to the router’s
Technician Interface
