[cisco-voip] CTL/Security Token question

[Joe Martini]

If the password has been entered incorrectly too many times the token cannot be recovered.  Hopefully you still have one with a known password so that you can get a new token to replace the locked one.  Then update the CTL file with the new token using the one remaining token that was originally used.  That's why it's a requirement to order two, in case one is lost or locked out there is a backup.  If you've lost both here's what you'll need to do: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/security/4_2_3/secutrbl.html#wp1032731

I would call TAC, installing a new CTL would mean visiting each phone (or use UnifiedFX) and resetting the CTL. Not something you want to have happen.

I have a customer that failed the Security Token Password 3 times and now the token is locked.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem ?
Do I need to replace the token via RMA ?


Thanks.

We do this in our labs. Just be careful to keep track of password changes. Using the tokens requires a password. Guess the wrong password too many times and they do self destruct. This would effectively lock you out of all clusters that use that key.
