RSA SecurID login
When an RSA SecurID external authentication service has been added to the Rack Power
Manager software, the login credentials include a username and a passcode. The passcode
includes a PIN and an RSA SecurID tokencode. The login request is sent to the RSA
Authentication Manager. Depending on the user configuration and state on the RSA
Authentication Manager, the user may be prompted for a second successive tokencode.
The user configuration also specifies how the four to six digit PIN will be generated:
• User defined - the user must enter a PIN
• System generated - the user cannot enter a PIN; it must be generated by the RSA server
• User selectable - the user may choose to enter a PIN or allow the RSA server to generate it
If a PIN has not yet been assigned to the user or if security policy requires a PIN change, the
user will be prompted accordingly. If the RSA server generates the PIN, the user will be given a
brief interval to memorize it.
