RSA SecurID Token Management

(1)Users with RSA SecurID tokens can use P-Synch® for PIN reset or to clear forgotten PINs, to resynchronize their token clock with the RSA Authentication Manager, to enable or disable their token, and to get emergency access pass-codes.

Process

P-Synch can validate current RSA SecurID token pass-codes using either a RADIUS service or using the RSA Authentication Manager agent, installed on the P-Synch server. Users can sign into P-Synch with this form of authentication, rather than passwords, Q-A (Question-and-Answer) profiles, etc.

P-Synch can manage RSA SecurID tokens, with operations such as clear PIN, PIN reset, enable or disable token, set or clear emergency access mode and clock synchronization. These operations are available both in self service web or IVR (interactive voice response) or to a help desk analyst.

SecurID token management depends on an administrative API (application programming interface) (apidemon) which is only available locally on the RSA Authentication Manager. As a result, a local P-Synch agent is mandatory on the RSA Authentication Manager. This agent is available for Win32, Solaris and HPUX.
