Logging in with a hardware token with a PINpad

You can log in to IBM® FTP with a valid PIN. Your administrator must have configured your account for IBM MFA Compound In-Band. This use case requires a hardware token with a PINpad.

Procedure

Perform the following steps:

  1. Open an IBM FTP connection and enter your user name.
  2. Press Enter.
  3. Enter your PIN in the SecurID token and generate a passcode.
  4. Enter the 6- to 8-digit passcode displayed by the SecurID token, followed by the separator, followed by your passphrase or password in the password field.
    Note: Your security administrator can reverse the order in which you enter the credentials, so that you enter your passphrase or password first, followed by the separator. Consult your security administrator for guidance.
  5. Press Enter.
    If successful, IBM FTP displays PASS.
