Using Model 5390 Security
Using the SecurID Card
To use the SecurID card feature, you must purchase the ACE/Server software from Security
Dynamics. The ACE/Server software includes client software and the SecurID card. The ACE/Server
system is designed to prevent any unauthorized access to your network.
The SecurID card is a credit-card sized card containing a microprocessor and an LCD display. This
card generates, at a designated interval, a one-time-only, unpredictable code on the LCD display.
At the usual system prompt from your Model 5390 server, SecurID card users enter a passcode in
order to access your protected system.
The ACE/Server system provides two types of authentication:
•
A unique code, such as the user’s PIN number.
•
The assigned SecurID card.
Each SecurID card has a unique serial number that identifies it to the ACE/Server.
Assigning a SecurID Card to a User
As an administrator, you assign a card to a user by specifying the user name and the defaults for
login name and login shell. The login name must be the assigned UNIX login name, as found in the
first field of the password-file entry for that user. In the ACE/Server system, the login shell field in
the password file is set to sdshell by default. With the sdshell setting, the login shell displayed to
the cardholder after authentication must be stored in the ACE/Server database. Do not set the login
shell field to sdshell.
You can disable a card as necessary (for reasons such as a personnel change) and the ACE/Server
itself will disable a card if it suspects the card is stolen. All SecurID cards come with an expiration
date, after which they stop functioning for good. You should delete expired cards from the database.
When you receive the ACE/Server software and SecurID cards, one of the cards is already assigned
to the login name adm and is enabled for your system administrator. When you become adm and
execute sdadmin, it determines that you have assumed that login name and uses it to find the adm
card and your correct authority level. The sdadmin does not require a passcode entry. By using the
one card with administrator authority, at least one person in your SecurID system has the authority
to manage the ACE/Server system and all its databases, including changing any relevant information.
