Managing Your SecurID Tokens
If you have an RSA SecurID Authenticator (token), Bravura Security Fabric can be set up so that you can manage your token, and set and clear your PIN.
Getting started
To manage your tokens and PIN:
From the main menu, click Manage tokens.
If you have more than one token, select the token you want to manage.
Bravura Security Fabric displays the management page for the token you selected. Now you can:
Enable or disable your token
Request or clear emergency access codes
Set or clear a PIN
Resynchronize your token
Enable and disable tokens
From the token management page you can select the:
Enable token option to activate a new token
Disable token
If a user’s token is marked as being both disabled and the token has been entered into emergency access mode (marked as being lost), the token will become invalid, and users will no longer be able to access their token from the Manage tokens (PSP) module. Only product administrators will be able to access the token to either re-enable it or take the token out of emergency access mode to mark it as no longer lost.
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:
In the Put token into Emergency Access Mode section:
Type the number of hours for which the code will be valid in the Number of hours before Emergency Access Mode expires field.
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.
Select the Put token into Emergency Access Mode option.
Bravura Security Fabric confirms entry into emergency access mode.
Make note of the emergency access password you created.
Request one-time passwords
To request one-time passwords:
In the Put token into Emergency Access Mode section:
Type the number of hours for which the codes will be valid in the Number of hours before Emergency Access Mode expire s field.
Enable Use one-time passwords.
Type a value in the Number of passwords to generate field. Each code may only be used once.
Select the Put token into Emergency Access Mode option.
Bravura Security Fabric confirms entry into emergency access mode.
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.
Set and clear a PIN
To set a new PIN for your token, especially if you forgot your current PIN:
In the Set token PIN section, type a new PIN that will satisfy the requirements of the Token Policy on the RSA Authentication Manager 7.1/8.2 server or leave the PIN field empty if you want Bravura Security Fabric to select a random PIN for you.
Select the Set token PIN option.
Take note of the new PIN displayed on the screen.
To clear a PIN, select the Clear token PIN option on the token management page.
Resynchronize a token with the RSA Authentication Manager
To resynchronize your token with the RSA Authentication Manager:
Type the code displayed on your token in the Code displaying on token now field.
Select the Resynchronize token option.
Wait for the display on your token to change. Type the new code displayed on your token in the New code displaying on token field.
Select the Resynchronize token option.
Bravura Security Fabric confirms that the resynchronization is successful.
