Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.13.1
  • SSH
  • Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP)

Issue

  • Beginning with ONTAP 9.13.1, you can enhance security by requiring local users to log in to an admin or data SVM with both an SSH public key or user password and a time-based one-time password (TOTP). After the account is enabled for MFA with TOTP, the local user must log in to complete the configuration.
  • The security login totp create associates an new secret key with a user account.
 
::> security login totp create

Your new secret key is: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Your verification code for code 1 is 123456
Your emergency scratch codes are:
