SunScreen EFS Release 3.0 Reference Manual

SecurID Client Setup on a Routing-Mode Screen

To learn about the Screen as a client, see sdconf.rec from the server after it has been configured.

Two possible client mechanisms:

This software is on the CD with the server. Install it per the documented instructions.

The stub files are installed by the SUNWicgSS package:

/opt/SUNWicg/SunScreen/etc/securid_stubclient_setup /opt/SUNWicg/SunScreen/etc/securid_stubclient.tar


Note -

The first file is a script that uses the second file.


Become root in the directory where sdconf.rec resides, execute:


# /opt/SUNWicg/SunScreen/etc/securid_stubclient_setup sdconf.rec

Once the client is installed, be sure to test it.

The first time a new client contacts the ACE/Server, it receives the node secret to allow this first-time exchange.


Note -

The first authentication request must be performed as root.


You also need a SecurID token that is configured for a user and for which user is activated on the routing-mode client. A simple means to test it out is to use the SecurID PIN Server:


	# telnet localhost 3855SunScreen Vx.0 SecurID
PIN and Re-Keying Server

Type the SecurID login: user Type PASSCODE: passcode

Whether the passcode is accepted or access is denied, the client and server have exchanged the node secret.


Note -

If the above interaction receives an error about not being able to establish server communications, ensure that you used the correct login and so forth.
