6.The Specify RSA SecurID Connection Settings window will open. Type the 1-512 character path to the sdconf.rec file, or browse to the file location. (This file is created by the RSA Authentication Manager, but is located on the DSView 3 software client machine.) Then, click Next.

The sdconf.rec file will be uploaded from the DSView 3 software client to the DSView 3 server. This file will be used as the initial RSA configuration file for all DSView 3 software servers.

If some DSView 3 servers require a different configuration, a different sdconf.rec file must be configured. Additionally, some installations may require an advanced option file (sdopts.rec) for load balancing. You may specify these files using the procedure to change settings for the RSA SecurID external authentication service.

7.The Establish Connection with Authentication Service window will open briefly. If the external authentication service is added successfully, the Completed Successful window will open.

Click Finish. The User Authentication Services window will open with the new service listed.

After the service is added, one or more RSA user accounts must be added to the DSView 3 software.

NOTE: The node secret file for the server will not be created until the first RSA user logs into the DSView 3 software.
