| Applies To | RSA Product Set: Adaptive Authentication (OnPrem) RSA Product/Service Type: Adaptive Authentication (OnPrem) RSA Version/Condition: 7.X |
| Issue | The user asks for a way to hash user ids for the RSA AA Policy Management User ID Lists. They had an internal tool in the previous version and are looking for the same functionality in the current 7.X version. |
| Tasks | Provide web URLs or tools to hash the values. |
| Resolution | There is not a hashing option available in AAOP v7.X, and probably the URL on the case information was a script developed by the customer. It is possible to create a new script, but it should be developed again or adapted from the existing script by an internal development team. The other option is to use an existing tool for hashing the user id values with the SHA-2 algorithm. The administration screen indicates that the hashing of the user id values should be manually done:  Any available tool that can hash the values using SHA-2 algorithm, like http://passwordsgenerator.net/sha256-hash-generator, can be used. Please see below an example of hashing a User ID value:  The hashed user id value can be added to the policy management list:  |
