Configure the Swivel User

Swivel uses a Hexadecimal seed, generated on the yubikey programming tool. Copy the Seed from the programming tool, remove any spaces and add the seed as a hardware or software HOTP token on the Swivel Administration console, see Token.

When the seed has been assigned to a user, open a text editor such as Notepad, and press when the green light on the Yubikey is pressed, an OTC is generated on the Notepad. Generate two OTC to synchronise the token.


Testing
