Important:
The
device
authentication
requires
a
unique
service
tools
device
ID
for
each
PC
that
is
configured
with
a
local
console
on
a
network
(LAN)
connection.
When
using
an
Operations
Console
local
console
on
a
network,
the
configuration
wizard
adds
the
necessary
information
to
the
PC.
The
configuration
wizard
asks
for
the
service
tools
device
ID
and
an
access
password.
The
access
password
protects
the

password
on
the

When
establishing

the
Operations
Console

wizard
prompts
you
for
the
access
password
to
access
the
encrypted

The
user
will
also
be
prompted
for
a
valid
service

ID
and
password.
Note:
When
you
use
the
graphical
control
panel
on
systems
with
a
keystick
on
a
logical

setting
the
mode
to
Secure
might
require
you
to
use
the
LPAR

to
select
another

on
the
cryptographic

running
Operations
