Configure these parameters for an external SDI (RSA Security Inc. SecurID) authentication server. We
suggest you accept the defaults.
Figure 3-11 Configuration | Quick | Authentication Screen, SDI Server
To configure the parameters for the SDI authentication server, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the Authentication Server field, enter the hostname or IP address of the external SDI server. The
maximum is 32 characters. (If you configured a DNS server, you can enter a hostname in this field;
otherwise, enter an IP address.)
Step 2 In the Server Port field, enter the UDP port number by which you access the server. Enter 0 (the default)
to have the system supply the default port number, 5500.
Step 3 In the Timeout field, enter the time in seconds to wait after sending a query to the server and receiving
no response, before trying again. The minimum is 1 second, default is 4 seconds, maximum is 30
seconds.
Step 4 In the Retries field, enter the number of times to retry sending a query to the server after the timeout
period. If there is still no response after this number of retries, the VPN Concentrator declares this server
inoperative. The minimum is 0, default is 2, maximum is 10 retries.
Step 5 Click Continue to proceed.
If you selected the IPSec tunneling protocol, skip to the section Configuring the IPSec Group, page 3-18.
Otherwise, skip to the section Changing Admin Password, page 3-21.
