ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL

Configuration

As part of setting the authentication method to SecurID, a successful authentication of a client must take place between the Router and the ACE server. Therefore, a fully operable ACE server must be available and correctly configured for use with the Router before configuring the Router to use SecurID. To accomplish this refer to the following instructions below. Note that the most current information will be with your ACE server software package.

1.Set up the ACE server following the instructions supplied by Security Dynamics. If you are already running the ACE server, add the Router to the list of clients by running sdadmin and choosing item Clients, and then item Create Client. Type the name of the Router and specify its type as Comm Server.

2.At the ACE server, either activate users who will log onto the Router as direct users, or activate a group of users. To activate a user, from the main menu choose item Clients, and then choose item Activate Direct Users. Now type the name of the Router, and then enter the Serial Number or User Name information as requested. Refer to the ACE server documentation for more information about using groups.

3.Using ftp, copy the file /var/ace/sdconf.rec from the ACE server to the Router.

From the ACE server, log into the Router as root. Be sure to use binary mode for the transfer.

%cd /var/ace

%ftp Router

Name: root

Password: root_password

>bin

>put sdconf.rec

>quit

On the Router, verify that the file sdconf.rec resides at the top level of the directory hierarchy.

4.Have your SecurID card available, with it already configured for use with this Router at the ACE server.

5.To verify that the Router can communicate with the ACE server. On the Router, enter:

ping hostname

where hostname is the name of the ACE server.

6. On the Router, enter:

config modify

Eventually you will be asked to select an authentication method. Select SecurID. At the end of the config session (after you have been asked whether you want to save this configuration), you will be prompted to enter your username and passcode.

If the ACE server authenticates you, the authentication method is now set to SecurID. If the ACE server fails to authenticate you, you will be given the option to try again or give up (authentication method stays unchanged).
