To activate OTP for an RDP connection to a target device, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the Kron PAM Web GUI.
2. Navigate to **Administration** > **System Config Man**.
3. Set the required parameters below.

| **Parameters**                     | **Description**                                                                                                       |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| sc.rdp.connection.otp.enabled=true | One-time password enabled for RDP connections.                                                                        |
| sc.rdp.otp.cache.enabled=true      | If the cache parameter is activated, the user will not be asked for OTP during the cache duration after entering OTP. |
| sc.rdp.otp.cache.seconds=240       | Cache time in seconds.                                                                                                |

After these settings, users in enabled user groups will be asked for a token when logging in to an RDP server.
