Your pin will be used to log in using your OTP token. Before you use your token for the first time you will need to set your pin. The following instructions should be followed to set your pin.
- Initiate an SSH connection to the NICS resource you will be using. For example:
ssh userid@login.nics.tennessee.edu
-
When prompted for a PASSCODE, enter the token code shown on the token, for example,
159759in the photo.
- You will be asked if you are ready to set your PIN. Answer with “Y.”
- You will then be prompted to enter a PIN. Enter a 4- to 6-digit number you can remember. Reenter your PIN when prompted.
- You will be prompted to enter your full PASSCODE. To do so, wait until the next token code appears on your token and enter your PASSCODE, which is now your PIN + the 6-digit token code displayed on your token. For example, if the pin was 1111 and the token code was 234432, then the full PASSCODE would be 1111234432.
- Your PIN is now set, and your token is activated and ready for use.
Note: Logging in more than three consecutive times using an incorrect pin will disable your token. OTP tokens that are not used for a period of three consecutive months are disabled. If you believe your token has been disabled for inactivity or as a result of a forgotten PIN, please submit a request to help@xsede.org. You may also call the helpline directly at 865-241-1504.
You can log on using the procedure outlined in Secure Access.
