How do I resync my RSA token?
Task
- Correct time and set an outside NTP server to prevent time from becoming unstable.
- Connect to the RSA Authentication Manager primary server and run the command ./rsautil sync-tokens to generate a report showing token status.
- Run ./rsautil sync-tokens again to modify tokens to be in proper sync with the server.
What happens if the RSA SecurID server time and the RSA SecurID token time get radically out of sync?
If the RSA server time is out by more than 3 minutes you will find some users completely failing to authenticate and some being prompted for the next token code. Once you correct the server time it is good to resynchronize all the tokens.
What does it mean to synchronize token?
Synchronization provides a secure mechanism through which the server and token can automatically resynchronize when a user authenticates. Tokens might need to be synchronized if they become out of sync with the server.
How do I transfer my RSA tokens from one phone to another?
Resolution
- Login to the Security Console.
- Click Authentication > SecurID Tokens > Manage Existing.
- Use the search fields to find the tokens that you want to replace.
- Select the checkbox for the tokens that you want to replace.
- From the Action menu, click Replace SecurID Tokens.
- Click Go.
How do disconnected tokens work?
Disconnected tokens are not linked to the computer or network in any way; rather, the user enters the information from the token manually into the system. Connected tokens work electronically and automatically transmit information to the network once they’re connected.
What is RSA token used for?
What is RSA? RSA is a leading security vendor that provides hardware tokens for 2FA (two factor authentication). RSA SecureID is the method NASA chose for implementing 2FA on servers and other computing resources the user does not have direct physical access to.
