You can create user PIN codes to use for authentication in addition to passwords. HPE IDOL Server can lock users out if they fail to authenticate using the PIN code.
Open the HPE IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.
Find the [User]
section, or create one if it does not exist.
Set the PincodeLength
parameter to the length of PIN code that you want to use. Created PIN codes must have the specified length, and must consist of alphanumeric characters. For example:
[User] PincodeLength=8
Save and close the configuration file. Restart HPE IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.
When you enable PIN codes in the configuration file, you can assign them to users by sending a UserPin
action.
Send the following action to HPE IDOL Server:
http://IDOLhost:IDOLport/action=UserPin&UserName=Username&Pincode=PinValue
where:
IDOLhost
|
is the name or IP address of the host on which HPE IDOL Server runs. |
IDOLport
|
is the HPE IDOL Server ACI port. |
Username
|
is the name of the user for which you want to add a PIN code. |
PinValue
|
is the value of the new pin. |
You authenticate users with PIN codes by using the UserPin
action. This action can check certain characters in the PIN code, rather than the whole PIN code.
Send the following action to HPE IDOL Server:
http://IDOLhost:IDOLport/action=UserPin&UserName=Username&Positions=Positions&Values=Values
where:
IDOLhost
|
is the name or IP address of the host on which HPE IDOL Server runs. |
IDOLport
|
is the HPE IDOL Server ACI port. |
Username
|
is the user name of the user whose account you want to authenticate. |
Positions
|
is a comma-separated list of the positions in the PIN code that you want to check. |
Values
|
is a comma-separated list of the values that HPE IDOL Server must check against the specified positions. |
For example, to authenticate by using the third, fifth, and sixth characters from a PIN code, you must set Positions
to 3,5,6
. The Values
parameter then contains the values that the user provides, for example y,9,a
. HPE IDOL Server checks that the specified values occur at the specified positions in the PIN code.
