Configuring RSA SecureID

RSA SecureID provides two-factor authentication, which is one of the more secure means of authentication available today. In this two-factor authentication, the user provides a personal identification number (PIN) along with a single-use token generated from a time code algorithm. Because the token is a single-use token, it can be used only once; also, different tokens are generated at fixed intervals. Therefore, for authentication, a correct token along with a PIN need to be provided. A correct combination of both provides a higher degree of certainty that the user being authenticated is a valid user.

RSA SecureID Configuration on Cisco Secure Access Control Server 4.2

The configuration processes for RSA SecureID on ACS 4.2 for Windows and on the ACS 4.2 solution engine differ only slightly.
