Token Management¶
Tokens are managed via the My Tokens / Meine Token menu item under Index / Übersicht on FeLS. You can register, activate, deactivate, and delete tokens here.
KIT users can re-use existing hardware and software tokens for the HPC systems, but must manage them via the KIT self-service portal instead.
Registering a new Software or Hardware Token¶
Click New smartphone token to register a software token. If you have a Yubikey USB hardware token by Yubico, click New Yubikey Token instead.
A new window opens. Click Start to generate a QR code. This may take a moment.
QR code handling
The QR code contains a secret key. Only use it to link your token app with FeLS. Do not save, print, or share the QR code. You can generate a new one at any time if needed.
Open the token app on your separate device and scan the QR code (usually via a + button or a QR code icon). The app will display a new entry called bwIDM. Generate an OTP and enter it into the Current code: field in the browser, then click Check.
If successful, you are returned to the My Tokens screen with a new entry for your token. Verify that it is marked as Active.
Backup TAN list
Register at least one Backup TAN list in addition to your primary token. If you lose access to your only token (lost device, deleted app, corrupted data), you will be unable to log in or register a new token. Support can deactivate lost tokens, but this takes time.
Deactivating a Token¶
Click Disable next to the token entry on the My Tokens screen.
Deleting a Token¶
After a token has been disabled, a Delete button appears. Click it to remove the token.
