7.6. Logging into the Web UI with a one time password

Follow this procedure to login for the first time into the IdM Web UI using a one time password (OTP).

Prerequisites

OTP configuration enabled on the Identity Management server for the user account you are using for the OTP authentication. Administrators as well as users themselves can enable OTP.
To enable the OTP configuration, see Enabling the one time password in the Web UI.
A hardware or software device generating OTP tokens configured.

Procedure

In the Identity Management login screen, enter your user name or a user name of the IdM server administrator account.
Add the password for the user name entered above.
Generate a one time password on your device.
Enter the one time password right after the password without a space.
Click Log in.
If the authentication fails, synchronize OTP tokens.
If your CA uses a self-signed certificate, the browser issues a warning. Check the certificate and accept the security exception to proceed with the login.
If the IdM Web UI does not open, verify the DNS configuration of your Identity Management server.
After a successful login, the IdM Web UI opens.
