The name you enter in the Userid to Create S/Key for box must be a valid UNIX user name for the i-Planet server or the server on which the Administration Console is running.

To Generate the S/Key Passwords

  1. Type the user name (Userid),

  2. Type the number of passwords that you want generated.

    (The maximum number of allowable sets of S/Key passwords is displayed on the Authentication Parameters Page.)

  3. Type the personal identification number (PIN).

    The PIN must be at least five alpha-numeric characters long.

  4. Type the PIN again for confirmation.

  5. Click the Submit button to generate the list of passwords for the end user

    The list of passwords generated for the end user is displayed as shown in Figure 2-22.

  6. Give the end user the generated list of passwords, the unique user ID (uuid), and, separately, the PIN that you used in generating the list.

    The end user will need the unique user ID and PIN as well as the list of passwords, in order to log in remotely.

  7. Remind the end user to keep the PIN separate from the unique user ID and the list of passwords.
