Authentication
Some parts of this message may be customized by the administrator (see How to update RSA Mobile SMS Configuration) however two key parts of the message may not be altered.
The 8-digit tokencode, which in the above example the value is "12345678"
The message ID to compare with a prompt on an authentication page, which above reads "(Message#: AD200123)"
These 2 components are considered to be the bare minimum of an SMS message. During an standard authentication, the user will see a message along the lines of "use the tokencode associated with message # AD200123", at this point they would type in "12345678". This allows for users who may have inadvertently left old messages on their phone, and can scroll through to find the correct (up to date) tokencode value. All other parts may be changed or removed.
