1: Important RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Changes 29
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Log data on a replica instance is not replicated in the same way as changes resulting
from authentication. Log data is sent only to the primary instance, or to a designated
centralized log. It is not replicated to all instances in your deployment.
Authentication Manager does not replicate any user or user group data that resides in
an LDAP directory. You must configure LDAP to replicate LDAP changes.
Administrative Capabilities
In version 8.1, you perform administrative tasks through the Security Console just as
you did through the Database Administration application in version 6.1. You do not
need to install any remote client software on your administration hardware. The
Security Console is browser-based, so you can access it from any supported and
correctly configured browser.
Changes to Browser-Based Administration
Version 8.1 provides the following administrative user interfaces for managing and
configuring your deployment:
Security Console. The browser-based interface for daily administration,
including RSA RADIUS.
This console provides access to everyday administrative tasks. The Security
Console interface reflects the administrative permissions and scope of the
administrator using it so that only the tasks and objects appropriate to the
administrators assigned role are visible. Almost all of the tasks that you
performed in the version 6.1 Database Administration application are now
performed through the Security Console.
Operations Console. The browser-based interface for running Authentication
Manager utilities, configuring RSA RADIUS, and migrating data. This console
handles tasks that you may need to perform only infrequently, such as migrating
data from a version 6.1 realm or configuring RADIUS servers.
Self-Service Console. The browser-based interface for users to request tokens (if
the provisioning feature is enabled) and perform self-service tasks. This console
allows users to activate tokens, test authentication, request enrollment, tokens, and
user group membership, or perform troubleshooting tasks.
The features that appear in the Self-Service Console depend on the license you use
when installing Authentication Manager.
