Document Service Processor public-key second-factor support in ONTAP 9.15.1

[Copilot]

The SP access documentation incorrectly stated that the Service Processor supports only password authentication. This update documents that SP accounts can use password plus publickey two-factor authentication starting in ONTAP 9.15.1.

• What changed

  • Updated system-admin/accounts-access-sp-concept.adoc to remove the password-only statement.
  • Added the version boundary for SP two-factor authentication support: ONTAP 9.15.1 and later.
  • Clarified that SP access still uses password as the primary authentication method, with optional publickey as the second factor.
  • Added direct command-reference links for the related login management commands.

• Documentation detail

  • Reworded the page summary and lead so the capability is visible in search/snippet contexts.
  • Added guidance that SP MFA is configured with security login modify and security login publickey create.

• Example

  security login modify \
    -user-or-group-name <user> \
    -application service-processor \
    -authentication-method password \
    -second-authentication-method publickey
  
  security login publickey create \
    -username <user> \
    -application service-processor \
    -index 0 \
    -publickey "ssh-rsa ..."
