If RSA Authentication Manager requires users to enter a new RSA SecurID PIN after entering their RSA SecurID
username and passcode, a PIN dialog box appears. After setting a new PIN, users are prompted to wait for
the next token code before logging in. If RSA Authentication Manager is configured to use system-generated
PINs, a dialog box appears to confirm the PIN.
After successful validation against RSA Authentication Manager, users are prompted to enter their Active
Directory credentials.
Enable RSA SecurID Authentication in View Administrator
You enable a View Connection Server instance for RSA SecurID authentication by modifying View Connection
Server settings in View Administrator.
Prerequisites
n
Install and configure the RSA SecurID software.
n
Export the sdconf.rec file for the View Connection Server instance from RSA Authentication Manager.
See the RSA Authentication Manager documentation for more information.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 In View Connection Servers, select the View Connection Server instance and click Edit.
3 On the Authentication tab, select Enable under RSA Secure ID 2-Factor Authentication.
4 (Optional) To force RSA SecurID user names to match user names in Active Directory, select Enforce
SecurID and Windows user name matching.
If you select this option, users must use the same RSA SecurID user name for Active Directory
authentication. If you do not select this option, the names can be different.
5 Click Upload File, type the location of the sdconf.rec file, or click Browse to search for the file.
6 Click OK to save your changes.
You do not need to restart the View Connection Server service. The necessary configuration files are
distributed automatically and the RSA SecurID configuration takes effect immediately.
Troubleshooting RSA SecurID Access Denial
Access is denied when View Client connects with RSA SecurID authentication.
Problem
A View Client connection with RSA SecurID displays Access Denied and the RSA Authentication Manager
Log Monitor displays the error Node Verification Failed.
Cause
The RSA Agent host node secret needs to be reset.
Solution
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 In View Connection Servers, select the View Connection Server and click Edit.
3 On the Authentication tab, select Clear node secret.
4 Click OK to clear the node secret.
5 On the computer that is running RSA Authentication Manager, select Start > Programs > RSA Security >
RSA Authentication Manager Host Mode.
