RSA Security Home Security System 3.6.0 User Manual

You can implement SecurID authentication at the server level and for specific interfaces and 
asynchronous ports on the LX unit.  You must implement RSA SecurID Authentication at the server level 
before you can implement it on specific interfaces and asynchronous ports on the LX unit. 

The basic steps for configuring SecurID authentication on the LX unit are: 

1.  Specifying the RSA Authentication Manager Server settings on the LX. 
2.  Installing and configuring the SecurID server on a Network-based Host. 
3.  Configuring a RSA Authentication Manager Local Subscriber. (optional) 

Perform the following operations to specify the RSA Authentication Manager settings on the LX unit: 

1.  Check the primary RSA Authentication Manager Server host to ensure that the RSA Authentication Manager 

application is running. 

2.  Access the AAA Command Mode on the LX 
3.  Use the securid authentication version command to specify the RSA Authentication Manager authentication 

version for the LX unit.  You can specify the authentication version as Version 5, or pre-Version 5 (legacy); for 
example: 

Login: InReach 
Password: access 
InReach:0> enable  
Password: system 
InReach:0>> configuration 
AAA:0 >>securid authentication version version_5 
AAA:0 >>securid authentication version legacy 

4.  Use the securid authentication port command to specify the socket your RSA Authentication Manager  server is 

listening to; for example: 

AAA:0 >>securid authentication port 1687 

5.  Use the securid primary authentication server address command to specify the IP address of the RSA 

Authentication Manager Primary; for example: 

AAA:0 >>securid primary authentication server address 10.242.131.11 

6.  Use the securid authentication encryption command to specify the RSA SecurID encryption method for the LX 

unit.  You can specify DES or SDI as the encryption method; for example: 

AAA:0 >>securid authentication encryption des 
AAA:0 >>securid authentication encryption sdi 

7.  To verify the LX configuration, execute the show securid characteristics command at the superuser command 

prompt; for example: 

AAA:0 >>show securid characteristics
