Partner Authentication Agent Configuration Before You Begin
This section provides instructions for integrating the NetNumber TITAN application with RSA SecurID
Authentication. This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations.
It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to
perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product
documentation for all products in order to install the required components.
All vendor products/components must be installed and working prior to the integration. Perform the
necessary tests to confirm that this is true before proceeding.
Ensure that the TITAN platform has network access to the RSA Authentication Manager server by testing
with ping, telnet, etc.
Configure the TITAN Server
The following steps should be taken to configure the TITAN server and test the authentication of a user
using RSA SecurID.
1. Copy the RSA SecurID Agent configuration file to the TITAN server
2. Select RSA SecurID as the TITAN authentication type
3. Create a TITAN administrator
4. Test authentication of the administrator
The following sections describe each of the four steps. For detailed information about any of these steps,
please see the NetNumber TITAN Administration Guide.
Copy the RSA SecurID Agent configuration file to the TITAN server
Once the Agent Host configuration is complete (see previous section, Agent Host Configuration), you
must save the configuration to a file named sdconf.rec using the RSA Authentication Manager
Administration interface and then transfer the file to the TITAN platform using FTP, SFTP, etc. The
sdconf.rec file must be placed in the following TITAN application directory (where <root_dir> is the
directory that the TITAN application is installed):
<root_dir>/sys/rsa/
The file permissions on the sdconf.rec file should be the same as those given to the TITAN application
during installation/setup.
Select RSA SecurID as the TITAN Authentication Type
Login to the web-based TITAN Administration Console as the root administrative user that was created
during TITAN application setup. On the main page, select the System tab and then click on the
Authentication link. The Authentication configuration page will display the current, system-wide
authentication type followed by the configuration settings for that type. The default authentication type
“Local” is displayed initially. Push the Edit button and, from the drop down menu, select RSA SecurID as
the Authentication Type. Push the Save button.
The only configurable setting for the RSA SecurID type is enabling/disabling debug. We recommend that
debug be disabled on all production systems. The following figure shows the Authentication configuration
web page with RSA SecurID as the selected value:
