34        MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager User Guide

Each OTP user needs a local user account on the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager, must be 
registered with the OTP system and must be able to obtain the OTP username, OTP secret pass 
phrase and OTP passwords needed for logins. The following procedure is for users who have the 
opiekey program running on a non-networked workstation, who know the secret pass phrase and 
are able to generate their own passwords.

To generate an OTP when prompted at dial-in:

1.

Dial into the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager through an external modem, a PC modem or 
phone card that has been configured to use OTP authentication. 

2.

Obtain an OTP by performing the following steps.

a.

Copy the challenge into a window on a non-networked workstation where the opiekey 
program is installed, as shown in the following example.

b.

Enter your secret pass phrase when prompted. The opiekey program generates a six 
word OTP.

3.

Copy the OTP password to the window where the login program is waiting with the 
Response prompt.
