• Import the token seed file (also known as the *.sdtid file) that contains the UID for each software token into the RSA
Authentication Manager Database.
• In the RSA Authentication Manager Database, create a user record for each software token holder.
• In the RSA Authentication Manager Administration application, configure the following parameters for the software
token seed file:
• serial number
• cryptographic algorithm
• user account that you can assign the software token to
• password to protect the software token seed file
• Communicate the password to the user.
Configure BlackBerry devices for RSAauthentication
Software tokens use the UID and current time to authenticate the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices to the RSA
Authentication Manager. To permit BlackBerry devices to authenticate to the RSA Authentication Manager, you must
synchronize the time and date on BlackBerry devices with the time and date on the computer that hosts the RSA
Authentication Manager, even though the RSA Authentication Manager is designed to accommodate time differences of
up to three minutes.
Instruct users to use one of the following methods to synchronize the date, time, and time zone settings on the BlackBerry
devices with the RSA Authentication Manager:
• Adjust the time on BlackBerry devices using the Date/Time option on the BlackBerry devices manually.
• Use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize the date and time on the BlackBerry devices with the date and
time on the users' computers.
After you finish:
• Assign the Wi-Fi profile to the user accounts.
• Resend the IT policy to BlackBerry devices.
