 Re: What is SecurID?
SecurID is the product name of RSA's physical (and in a few cases, software) tokens. The server portion that is required for authentication to work was called RSA ACE/Server through major version 5. With version 6 and greater, the name has been changed to the more descriptive RSA Authentication Manager. The GUI for the application finally made a decent upgrade with 6, but the individual admin interface for user management still leaves a lot to be desired. Win 3.1 API, and ugly ugly ugly.
RSA Authentication Manager is supported on Win2k/2k3, Red Hat ES 3, and UNIX (Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX), but seems to be most popularly deployed on Server 2003 these days. Most Check Point enforcement modules have the RSA agent libraries/calls/software precompiled, and only require the SDCONF.REC and other files, plus some settings changes.
RSA ACE/AuthMgr is a somewhat picky application and can take a lot of learning. There is a fair amount of doco out there if one looks, and us experience folk are hiding under the occasional rock, if you can force us out.  |
