IBM MFA

[KennethHeinbock]

what is the latest release version of IBM MFA and where can I download a copy ?

[JayGuillette · Accepted solution]

Ken, If you mean ReST based PAM for AIX, then its PAM 8.1.3 (in a weird move, PAM 8.1.4 is for SPARC only).

If you mean Windows MFA, which is ReST based, Then that is v. 2.1.4

If you want the legacy Agent for Windows, which is UDP port 5500 based, that is v. 7.4.5

I'll have to see if I can find that one. It's an old UDP agent, but it looks like IBM wrote it not us.

@KennethHeinbock,

I checked in with our RSA Ready Technology Partner Program about your request. If you are looking for the IBM Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS agent, please contact IBM for information on how to download it. 

We do have an open JIRA for this work (RSAR-244). For more information on that, please contact your sales rep.

Ken,

The Guide references the IBM Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS, which is a product from Rocket Software that must be installed and running under z/OS (which I think runs on IBM s390). This guide explains the configuration and setup for this UDP 'agent'.

A couple weeks back Sri asked me if RSA was planning an update for the IBM s390 UDP agent (and the Power PC agent) to TCP and ReST. While I found some indications there were discussions on this, I do not think those discussion went anywhere. At that time, Sri indicated that WF was in possession of this IBM s390 agent. Do you think the same team asked both your and Sri about this issue?

[JayGuillette]

There is something available from IBM and Rocket software for the s390 z/OS systems to configure the IBM MFA agent to authenticate against RSA Auth Manager with TCP ReST (or UDP).
Here's the chapter that explains what to do.
