RSA SoftToken Support
Junos Pulse 2.0 for the Microsoft Windows operating system supports integration with RSA SoftID, allowing
automatic access to the user’s RSA passcodes using the PIN entered by the user. When Junos Pulse detects RSA
SoftID installed on the same Microsoft Windows system, it prompts the user for the RSA PIN number and
programmatically retrieves the passcodes for successful authentication.
This feature allows for seamless and easy access for users to both the SA Series SSL VPN gateways, as well as the
IC Series UAC gateways.
Both the SA Series and IC Series gateways can authenticate users against RSA ACE servers using EAP-GTC
protocol. When Junos Pulse 2.0 is used to authenticate users over EAP-GTC against an RSA ACE server, the
integration with RSA SoftID is activated.
Compatible with:
SA Series SSL VPN 7.1
IC Series UAC 4.1
Junos Pulse 2.0 Support for SA Series SSL VPN and IC Series UAC Gateways
Junos Pulse 2.0 (for Windows) successfully interoperates with both the SA Series 7.0 and IC Series 4.0 software
releases. The features enabled in Junos Pulse are the features available in the appropriate server-side releases.
Junos Pulse 2.0 can be used to support the same set of features that were used with version1.0 of the Junos Pulse
software against SA Series 7.0 and IC Series 4.0.

Installing and Deploying Junos Pulse 2.0
There are several ways to deploy Junos Pulse to endpoints:
•
Create a custom configuration on the IC Series or SA Series device, and direct users to navigate to the access
device for an automatic download through a role. This is the simplest way to deploy Pulse!
•
Create a custom configuration, download an installer package, and distribute to users through a System
Management Server (SMS).
•
Download the default installer from the Maintenance > System > Installers page and distribute to users.
With the default installer, all components and connections needed for connecting to an access device are
included in the client.
For custom configurations, you create component sets and connection sets on the IC Series or SA Series device,
and then download an installer package. See the
Junos Pulse Administration Guide
for complete instructions.
