IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache

How you log in to IBM® HTTP Server - Powered by Apache with IBM MFA enabled depends on the token type you are using.

For IBM MFA SecurID, you must already have a valid PIN. For IBM MFA with TOTP, you need the generated TOTP OTP.

TOTP

If the security administrator has enabled your account for IBM MFA with TOTP, you no longer use your RACF® password to log in. Instead, you must use your supported Apple device to generate an TOTP OTP and then use that to log in.

IBM MFA SecurID

If the security administrator has enabled your account for IBM MFA, you no longer use your z/OS® password to log in. Instead, how you log in depends on the type of token you have. See Types of token devices for the supported token types.

General guidelines

Observe the following guidelines:
  • It is a best practice to wait until the token code changes before attempting to log in.
  • You can use the token code only once.
  • If you receive an authentication failure, wait until the token code changes before attempting to log in again.
Note: If you are using IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache with compound in-band authentication, the possible separator values are a colon (:) and a vertical bar (|). The forward slash (/) is not supported as a separator.
