When finished installing the Avaya authentication file, Avaya Communication Manager has a password
for the craft login. This password is unique to the customer’s server. You can use the password the next
time you log in as craft, provided you access the media server through the services port. You do not need
an ASG challenge/response to log in this way, even though every other means of craft access still require
an ASG challenge/response. The revised password is recorded by RFA and is obtained from ASG
