The ArcotID OTP Desktop Client is software that enables users to use ArcotID OTP credentials. The users can generate all purpose secure software passcodes using the ArcotID OTP Desktop Client, and then use the generated passcodes for authentication. ArcotID OTP credentials are compliant to OATH standards and support both counter-based (HOTP) and time-based (TOTP). ArcotID OTP also supports the Transaction Signing feature in the Sign mode of passcode generation. This feature conforms to the OATH Challenge-Response Algorithm (OCRA) defined by RFC 6287.
To generate the passcode, the user has to first add the account and set the password or the PIN for the ArcotID OTP credential using the ArcotID OTP Desktop Client. A user can have one or multiple accounts corresponding to the applications that they have access to. See "User Self-Service Operations Using the ArcotID OTP Desktop Client" for more information on using the ArcotID OTP Desktop Client.
Note: In this guide, the words device and desktop have been used to mean the computer that is running an operating system supported by the ArcotID OTP Desktop Client. To get a better understanding of how to integrate the SDK with your client application, see the sample application shipped with the client package described in this guide.
This guide provides information about installing, deploying and using CA ArcotID OTP Desktop Client (later referred to as ArcotID OTP Desktop Client). This guide is intended for administrators, system operators, and other users.
Note: CA ArcotID OTP Desktop Client still contains the terms Arcot, WebFort and ArcotOTP in some of its code objects and other artifacts. Therefore, you will find occurrences of Arcot, WebFort and ArcotOTP in all CA ArcotID OTP Desktop Client documentation. In addition, some of the topics in this guide do not follow the standard formatting guidelines. These inconsistencies will be fixed in a future release.
