Deploying an Identity Router - Advanced Setup

If you want the opportunity to step through all of the possible options involved in deploying an identity router, perform this procedure.

Note:  This topic applies to identity routers being deployed on the VMware, Hyper-V, and Amazon Web Services cloud platforms. It does not apply to deployments that use the embedded identity router in Authentication Manager. For information on that deployment, see Quick Setup - Connect RSA Authentication Manager to the Cloud Access Service with an Embedded Identity Router.

If you want to set up your identity router as quickly as possible, without advanced options, see Getting Started with Quick Setup for Cloud Access Service.

For a quick overview of the setup process:

Before you begin 

• You must be a Super Admin in the Cloud Administration Console.

• Make sure you change your password at the first sign-in. See Change Your Account Name and Password in the Cloud Administration Console.
