SecurID SecurID enables the 833IS to use the ACE/Server from Security Dynamics for user
authentication. The ACE/Server is a software based security server that provides
user authentication with a memorized personal identification number (PIN) and a
code generated by the SecurID token. When the remote Client connects, the 833IS
will ask the ACE/Server to start the authentication process. The 833IS then acts as a
path between the remote Client and the ACE/Server. The remote Client enters a TTY
or terminal mode. The ACE/Server will then prompt the Dial-In user for their user
ID and passcode from the SecurID token. If the user ID and token are authenticated
by the ACE/Server, the user will be granted access.
A remote Client must support terminal mode to use SecurID security. Client
configuration may be required to enable this mode.
Users will be given the privileges granted in the Standard User Profile. See
“Standard Profile” on page 155. However, you can add a user record to the Internal
833IS User Database to define unique privileges. The User ID field must match the
user ID in the ACE/Server. The password in the Internal User Database will not be
used unless the user is requesting administration privileges.
The ACE/Server screen contains the following:
Master IP Address
The IP address of the Master SecurID server.
