Implementing RSA SecurID authentication

The BMC Server Automation Application Server can authenticate users by means of RSA SecurID. If a user is registered in the RBAC system, that user can authenticate by providing his or her user name and passcode, which consists of a PIN and the current token code displayed on an RSA SecurID Token. In some situations the user might be prompted for a new PIN before authentication can occur. If the information the user enters is valid, the Authentication Service issues a session credential to the user.

Configuring a BMC Server Automation system to support SecurID authentication requires configuration beyond the default setup. The following topics describe those requirements. In addition, you must configure a client to use an authentication profile set up for SecurID authentication. See Authentication-profiles and Managing-authorizations for more information about authentication profiles.

The following topics explain how to configure RSA SecurID authentication:
