Solution Summary

This section describes FortiManager integration with RSA SecurID (or ID Plus). Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.

Use Case

When integrated, FortiManager end users must authenticate with RSA SecurID Access or RSA Authentication Manager to sign in.

Integration Types

RADIUS integrations provide a text-driven interface for RSA SecurID Access within the partner application. RADIUS also provides support for most RSA SecurID Access authentication methods and flows.

SSO integrations use SAML 2.0 technologies to direct users’ web browsers to Cloud Authentication Service for authentication. SSO provides Single Sign-On using the IDR My Applications/My Page Portal.

Relying party integrations use SAML 2.0 to direct users’ web browsers to the RSA Cloud Authentication Service for authentication. Primary authentication is configurable, and relying party can be a good choice for adding additional authentication (only) to existing deployments. 

Supported Features

This section shows all of the supported features by integration type and by RSA SecurID Access component. Use this information to determine which integration type and which RSA SecurID Access component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA SecurID Access with FortiManager using each integration type.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate FortiManager 7.2.1 with RSA SecurID using all of the integration types.

This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products in order to install the required components.

All RSA SecurID and FortiManager 7.2.1 components must be installed and working prior to the integration.

All of the supported use cases of RSA SecurID Access with FortiManager require both server-side and client-side configuration changes. This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
