Appliance Naming Conventions

Your appliance name indicates the main components included in its

hardware/software configuration. For example, if you purchased a WSA 4200,

the appliance configuration would include an X4 appliance with the Forefront

Unified Access Gateway application.

Please Note: Celestix appliances are available in various configurations. Find

the model number on the front panel display.

HOTPin System Overview

The HOTPin system provides secure two-factor authentication through a

passcode. The passcodes are generally composed of user-created personal

identification numbers (PINs) and one-time passwords (OTPs), unless HOTPin

has been configured for one-factor authentication, which then requires only the

OTP. OTPs are token codes made up of a six-digit number string. The

OTP/token codes are generated either by client software running on a

PC/Mac/mobile device, a hard token device, or through token providers on the

server. Token providers send OTPs to users through such methods as email,

web applications, or text messages.

The following diagram represents the login process with the possible OTP

generation methods.

Please Note: In the HOTPin system, OTPs and token codes are synonymous.
