RSA SecureID

Sectona PAM integrates with RSA SecureID for multi-factor authentication. It is a two-factor authentication based on something you know and something you own. RSA SecureID also provides hardware and software tokens.

Before you begin

• You need to setup the RSA server in your environment.

• Make sure the user has either the hardware device that generates tokens or the SecureID app installed on their Android/iOS device.

Configuring RSA SecureID with Sectona

To configure RSA SecureID on Sectona, follow the below-recommended steps:

• Login to PAM as an administrator.

• Go to Platform Configuration under the Authentication column and click on Multifactor Authentication → RSA SecureID.

• Fill in the following details:

  • Primary Server: This specifies the IP address of the RSA SecureID server.

  • Secondary Server: This specifies the alternate fallback server in case your primary server connection gets interrupted.

  • Port No: Specify the port number for server communication. The default port number is 1812.

  • Password/Shared Key: Provide the password for the specified username for authentication.

  • Timeout (Seconds): Provide the timeout period for communication attempts from the PAM server to the RSA server.

• Click on Active to activate the configuration.

• Click on Save and RSA SecureID MFA will be enabled.

For enabling RSA SecureID MFA for users, the administrator will need to assign User Logon Policy with MFA Type as RSA SecureID. For more information, refer to Setting up user logon policy.
