Get emergency access codes for temporary use

Use emergency access codes if you need access to a system protected by SecurID but don’t have your token with you. You may specify your own fixed password, have a fixed password be randomly generated, or have Bravura Security Fabric generate several more secure one-time passwords for you.

Request a fixed password

To request a fixed password:

  1. Navigate to the token management page.

  2. In the Put token into Emergency Access Mode section:

    1. Type the number of hours for which the code will be valid in the Number of hours before Emergency Access Mode expires field.

    2. Enable Use a fixed password, and type your password in the adjacent text field.

      This password must conform to the password rules set by the RSA Authentication Manager server.

      Enter -1 in order to have a fixed password be randomly generated.

  3. Select the Put token into Emergency Access Mode option.

    Bravura Security Fabric confirms entry into emergency access mode.

  4. Make note of the emergency access password you created.

Request one-time passwords

To request one-time passwords:

  1. Navigate to the token management page.

  2. In the Put token into Emergency Access Mode section:

    1. Type the number of hours for which the codes will be valid in the Number of hours before Emergency Access Mode expire s field.

    2. Enable Use one-time passwords.

    3. Type a value in the Number of passwords to generate field. Each code may only be used once.

  3. Select the Put token into Emergency Access Mode option.

    Bravura Security Fabric confirms entry into emergency access mode.

  4. Make note of the emergency access codes you were given.

    Each emergency access code can be used only once.

Clear emergency access mode

To clear the emergency access mode, if you found your token, select the Take token out of Emergency Access Mode on the token management page.
