Issue
The RSA SecurID Software Token 5.0 for Windows token file is removed every time a user logs off the virtual desktop, thus the token files must be stored in a single database accessed by all users.
To create a single database, you must install the desktop application from the msiexec command line, using the SETSINGLEDATABASE property. This property creates a single database in the All Users directory. When the user starts prelogon to the VPN client, for example, the VPN client retrieves a token from All Users.
Resolution
Install a single token database to the default location
- For the standard desktop application, type:
msiexec /qn /i pathname\RSASecurIDToken500.msi /lv c:\install.log SETSINGLEDATABASE=TRUE
- For the RSA SecurID Software Token with Automation, type:
msiexec /qn /i pathname\RSASecurIDTokenAuto500.msi /lv c:\install.log SETSINGLEDATABASE=TRUE
Install a single token database to a non-default location
Using an absolute path with the SETDATABASEDIR property creates a single database instance that is owned by the first user to use the application. The first example specifies an absolute path that begins with the drive letter and a backslash: drive:\. The second example uses the %HOMEDRIVE% Windows environment variable to specify the drive letter that is set in Active Directory.
- For the standard desktop application, type:
msiexec /qn /i pathname\RSASecurIDToken500.msi /lv c:\install.log SETSINGLEDATABASE=TRUE SETDATABASEDIR=c:\LocalDir
- For the RSA SecurID Software Token with Automation, type:
msiexec /qn /i pathname\RSASecurIDTokenAuto500.msi /lv c:\install.log SETSINGLEDATABASE=TRUE SETDATABASEDIR=%HOMEDRIVE%\LocalDir
