Procedure
1 Change to the directory where the sso-config script is located.
Option Description
Windows
C:\Program Files\VMware\VCenter server\VMware Identity Services
Appliance
/opt/vmware/bin
2 To enable RSA SecurID authentication, run the following command.
sso-config.[sh|bat] -t tenantName -set_authn_policy –securIDAuthn true
tenantName is the name of the vCenter Single Sign-On domain, vsphere.local by default.
3 (Optional) To disable other authentication methods, run the following command.
sso-config.sh -set_authn_policy -pwdAuthn false -winAuthn false -certAuthn false -t vsphere.local
4 To configure the environment so that the tenant at the current site uses the RSA site, run the following
command.
sso-config.[sh|bat] -set_rsa_site [-t tenantName] [-siteID Location] [-agentName Name] [-
sdConfFile Path]
For example:
sso-config.sh -set_rsa_site -agentName SSO_RSA_AUTHSDK_AGENT -sdConfFile /tmp/sdconf.rec
You can specify the following options.
Option Description
siteID Optional Platform Services Controller site ID. Platform Services Controller
supports one RSA Authentication Manager instance or cluster per site. If you do
not explicitly specify this option, the RSA configuration is for the current
Platform Services Controller site. Use this option only if you are adding a different
site.
agentName Defined in RSA Authentication Manager.
sdConfFile Copy of the sdconf.rec file that was downloaded from RSA Manager and
includes configuration information for the RSA Manager, such as the IP address.
5 (Optional) To change the tenant configuration to nondefault values, run the following command.
sso-config.[sh|bat] -set_rsa_config [-t tenantName] [-logLevel Level] [-logFileSize Size] [-
maxLogFileCount Count] [-connTimeOut Seconds] [-readTimeOut Seconds] [-encAlgList Alg1,Alg2,...]
The default is usually appropriate, for example:
sso-config.sh -set_rsa_config -t vsphere.local -logLevel DEBUG
