Enabling SecurID Authentication for the MPS Web Interface

Prior to enabling RSA SecurID authentication, verify the permissions on the node secret. Launch regedt32, navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\SDTI\ACECLIENT, right-click on it, and select Permissions. In order for the Web Interface to be able to write the node secret into the registry, the following local machine accounts must have full access to this key; ASPNET, IUSR_machinename, and IWAM- _machinename. For more information on this, see Known Issue # 1.

Warning: Manually modifying registry settings may lead to errors that can render your system unusable. Please do not attempt to edit the registry unless you are comfortable with such activity, and willing to reinstall the operating system, should it become necessary

To enable SecurID authentication for users logging into the Web Interface, use the Web Interface Admin Tool. After starting the tool, click the Authentication link in the menu bar on the left side of the page.

Ensure that the Explicit login box is checked to force users to supply a username and password to Web Interface. In the settings box at the bottom of the page, check the Enforce 2-factor authentication, and select RSA SecurID.

Save your changes, and then click the Apply Changes button.
