Using RSA SecurID for authentication

RSA SecurID provides a two-factor authentication scheme for user authentication. This approach uses a password that has a very short life span, typically one minute. By combining a passcode with a hardware generated token value, users are authenticated with this short-span password. This method of authentication narrows the opportunity for exploitation by anyone who manages to eavesdrop on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) confidential communications.

Note

After authentication, the combination passcode + token is no longer valid.


Setting up SecurID to use for authentication involves:

  1. Configuring the SecurId module
  2. (Optional) Modifying the rsa_api.properties file
  3. Enabling RSA SecurID authentication
