Configuring OATH OTP Issuance Profile

An OATH OTP profile can be used to specify the following attribute related to an OATH One-Time Password (OATH OTP Token) credential:

• Validity period: The period for which an OATH OTP Token is valid.

2. Verify that the CA Strong Authentication tab in the submenu is active.
3. Under the OATH OTP Token section, click the Issuance link to display the OATH One Time Password Profiles page.
