SecurID

The SecurID module is a client implementation for authenticating the ACE/Server from Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. The module's interface only provides for authentication. It does not provide for any other functions, such as "new PIN mode." The ACE/Server does not have to be installed locally to the i-Planet server, although the i-Planet software checks at installation for evidence that the ACE/Client has previously been installed. (In particular, it checks for the existence of the file /etc/sdace.txt). If you install the ACE/Client subsequently to installing the i-Planet server, you can add SecurID to the list of authenticators through the Authentication Parameters page in the Administration Console.

To Add SecurID to the List of Authenticator Through the Administration Console

1. Log into the Administration Console.

2. Click the Authentication link under the Server section.

3. In the Authentication Modules field at the top of the Authentication Parameters frame, add the following line:

com.sun.login.securid.Securid

1. Click the Enter button at the bottom of the frame.

2. As root, on the i-Planet server, restart the web server, by typing:

   # /opt/SUNWjeev/bin/iplanet_serv stop # /opt/SUNWjeev/bin/iplanet_serv start

TEXT--Each screen has one TEXT keyword. This is the text that is displayed at the top of the authentication page. It is typically used to describe the authentication module or as an informational message to the end user.
