RSA Authentication Manager

To configure your RSA Authentication Manager for risk-based authentication with IBM Security Access Manager, you must create an agent host record and enable it for risk-based authentication in the RSA Authentication Manager Security Console. You will need to download the sdconf.rec and the risk-based authentication integration script for the appropriate device type to configure the agent. RSA Authentication Manager can integrate risk-based authentication with UDP-based or RADIUS agents only.

The latest risk-based authentication script template is at the following link.

Download this file and copy it to the following directory in your primary RSA Authentication Manager server.

/opt/rsa/am/utils/rba-agents

Refer to RSA Authentication Manager Administrator's Guide for more information on RBA integration scripts.

Note:  The risk-based authentication script shows the IBM Security Access Manager version as 7.x, but it will work with version 9.x also.
