CRYPTOCard Screen Shots

Resyncing a software token at SSH gateway login:

Following is an example of using a CRYPTOCard 'challenge' (presented after a failed login attempt) to resynchronize your token and allow for a successful login.


If you fail initial login attempt, the perimeter device (SSH gateway in this example) presents an 8-digit challenge, which you enter into your token to resynchronize it.  With your last incorrect password still showing on the software token, select 'Options' from the menu...


Select 'Resynchronize' from the pull-down menu...

The software token now displays a screen where user will enter in the Challenge presented by the perimeter device.  In this example, the SSH gateway has displayed the Challenge '02820188' after the user failed on the first login; user enters '02820188' on the software token screen and clicks 'Ok'...

Software token now displays a new updated password (632-1321) that user now enters at the SSH gateway password prompt ("Enter Response:")...

User can now turn software token off by clicking 'Off' button...
