Configure the SMS Backup Authentication Settings

To configure the AAA Server settings for SMS backup authentication, you can edit the corresponding registry settings using the Microsoft Windows Regedit tool:

Registry Key	Type	Description
SMSActivationChallenge	REG_SZ	Used to send the RADIUS attribute Challenge-State (string, radius attribute 24) with the SMSActivationChallenge value. Default: none - no message is sent
SMSActivationMsg	REG_SZ	Used to send the RADIUS attribute Port-Message (string, radius attribute 18) with SMSActivationMsg value. Default: none - no message is sent
SMSActivationRadiusReplyReject	DWORD	Used to reject SMS authentication. If an SMS OTP is generated, the AAA Server rejects the request. Default: 0 - activation is not rejected
SMSOTPLifetime	DWORD	Duration (in seconds) of the SMS OTP lifetime. After this time expires, the OTP is deleted and a new authentication request (with PIN code) is necessary to obtain a new SMS OTP. Default: 0 - SMS OTP has unlimited validity
SMSOTPNumberOfTries	DWORD	Number of attempts the user can incorrectly enter the SMS OTP before the OTP is deleted. After the number is reached, the user has to enter the PIN code to obtain a new SMS OTP. This value must be inferior to the maximum number of tries defined at the group level. If the value is superior, this setting is not taken into account. To disable this setting, enter 0. Default: 0 - the user is allowed the number of tries configured at the group level
