Creating a custom agent for RSA SecurID authentication

Before you begin

To enable and use RSA SecurID two-factor authentication, first use RSA Authentication Manager to create a custom agent for the Forcepoint Security Manager. This agent is used to communicate with the RSA Authentication Manager server when you test the connection on the page General > Two-Factor Auth, and during the logon process.

To create a custom agent:

Steps

  1. In RSA Authentication Manager, add an Agent Host with the following minimum settings:
    Name

    Hostname of the Forcepoint management server. Must resolve to a valid IP address on the local network.

    Network Address IP address of the Forcepoint management server.
    Agent Type Select Standard Agent.
    Encryption Type Select DES.
  2. Click Generate Configuration Files.
  3. Copy the RSA Authentication Manager configuration file (sdconf.rec) to the following directory on the Forcepoint management server:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\EIP\tomcat\wbsnData\ rsaSecurID\
    Note: By default, the sdconf.rec file is located in the ACE\Data folder on the RSA Authentication Manager server.
  4. If a node secret file (securid) exists, copy this file to the above directory as well.
  5. Make sure no administrators are logged on to the Forcepoint Security Manager.
  6. On the Forcepoint management server, open the Windows Services tool.
  7. Right-click the service Websense TRITON Unified Security Center and select Restart.
