view.company.com:1443.
4 If you are prompted for RSA SecurID credentials or RADIUS authentication credentials, either type
your credentials or, if you plan to use an embedded RSA SecurID token, install an embedded token.
Option Action
Existing token
If you use a hardware authentication token or software authentication
token on a smart phone, enter your user name and passcode. The passcode
might include both a PIN and the generated number on the token.
Install software token
Tap External Token. In the Install Software Token dialog box, paste the CT-
KIP URL or CTFString URL that your administrator sent to you in email. If
the URL contains an activation code, you do not need to enter anything in
