Keywords

A keyword is entered in the password field during a user login when a user needs to request a certain login method. OneSpan Authentication Server can be configured to recognize the keyword and associate it with a specific login method.

Situations where keywords may be needed:

• User with multiple authenticators assigned
• User with one authenticator assigned, with multiple authenticator applications enabled
• User with at least one authenticator and a primary Virtual Mobile Authenticator assigned
• User with at least one authenticator and backup Virtual Mobile Authenticator enabled
• Server set up to allow multiple login methods

These login methods can have a keyword set:

• 2-step challenge/response
• 1-step challenge/response
• Virtual DIGIPASS

Restrictions

The keyword must not exceed 16 characters.

This field will be disabled if:

• Your privileges are not sufficient to make changes to policy information.
• The authentication server is not licensed for Virtual Mobile Authenticator.
• The Request Method list for the login method is set to an option that does not require a keyword.
