Assign a Software Token to a User

Before a user can use a software token to authenticate, you must first assign the token to the user. You can assign up to three hardware or software tokens to a single user. Tokens that are managed in Cloud Authentication Service (CAS) do not count towards the three token limit.

You can run a command-line utility that restricts the number of tokens that can be assigned to a user. For instructions, see Restrict the Number of Active Tokens per User.

Procedure 

1. In the Security Console, click Identity > Users > Manage Existing.

2. Use the search fields to find the user to whom you want to assign tokens.

3. From the search results, click the user to whom you want to assign tokens.

4. From the context menu, click Assign More under the SecurID Tokens menu item.

5. On the Assign SecurID Tokens page, use the search fields to find the token that you want to assign the user.

6. From the list of available RSA SecurID tokens on the Assign to Users page, select the checkbox next to the software token that you want to assign to the user. Record which tokens you assign so you can deliver them later.

7. Click Assign.

After you finish 

Use one of the following methods to deliver the token to the user:

• Distribute One Software Token Using File-Based Provisioning

• Distribute One Software Token Using Compressed Token Format (CTF)

• Distribute One Software Token Using Dynamic Seed Provisioning
