Logging on with RSA SecurID authentication

Before you begin

The process of logging in with RSA® SecurID is described in How RSA SecurID authentication works.

If RSA SecurID authentication is enabled, and administrators encounter an issue in which authentication is failing, it is still possible to log on to the Security Manager as follows:

Steps

  1. Open a browser on the Forcepoint management server machine (for example, via a Remote Desktop Connection).
  2. Go to the URL https://127.0.0.1:9443/ (or https://localhost:9443/).
  3. Log on using the admin user name and password.

Next steps

Next, configure the RSA SecurID authentication options to provide a fallback for other administrators (see Configuring two-factor authentication).
