This article explains how to use NTRadPing, a third-party RADIUS test utility, to set a New PIN in new Authentication Manager 8.6 or later.
This solution uses NTRadPing 1.5 with tokens or fixed passcodes that are in New PIN Mode and set PINs through the NTRadPing interface.
NOTE: The Access-Challenge STATE values shown below may be different when you use NTRadPing.
Pre-requites:
1. Download, install NTRadPing 1.5 and test authentications.
- Please refer a KB article 000014905-Performing RADIUS authentication tests with NTRadPing to RSA Authentication Manager for details
2. Create a RADIUS client.
- Please review Online Help Topic, "Add a RADIUS Client"
Steps to set in a new PIN in New PIN Mode with NTRadPing
1. Launch the NTRadPing executable.
2. For the RADIUS Server, enter the FQDN or IP address of the Authentication Manager server and for the RADIUS port, enter 1812
3. For RADIUS Secret Key, enter the Shared Secret you created when defining your new RADIUS client.
4. For User Name, enter the user ID of a test user.
5. For Password, enter the tokencode of your test token. Note: This token should be in New PIN Mode.
6. When done, click Send.
Since the token is in New PIN Mode, the response we get is Access-Challenge, as shown here:
7. Copy the string and add it to State string similar to below:
RSA|3a50b645-45ab-4727-ba37-9916197781f8|0c41e795-eb94-406e-86ea-08c997ee8185|SECURID_NEWPIN
8. Enter a new PIN in Password field and click Send.
The response will be to re-enter new PIN.
9. Remove the 1st State string by highlighting it and clicking the Remove button.

11. Re-enter a new PIN in Password field and click Send.
The response will be, "PIN Accepted. Wait for the token code to change, then enter the new passcode:"
12. Remove the 2nd State string by highlighting it and clicking the Remove button.
13. Copy the New string and add it to the State string similar to below:
RSA|3a50b645-45ab-4727-ba37-9916197781f8|ee53afe8-d9ae-417b-b58f-b32d5a2bfe83|SECURID
14. Enter a PIN+Tokencode or Passcode in the Password field and click Send.
