RSA Product Set: SecurID
RSA Product/Service Type: Token Converter
RSA Version/Condition: 3.0

Issue

The RSA SecurID TokenConverter cannot write to output file.

Cause

If a system has certain hardening applied, the -o option needs to include the full path to the .txt file, not just a filename in the Java command.

Usage:

TokenConverter <tokenfilename> [-f] [-o filename] [-p password] [-v version]

An example for TokenConverter 2.6.1  (non-java version):

TokenConverter.exe tokenfile1.sdtid -o c:\temp\tokenfile.txt

An example for TokenConverter 3.0 (Java version):   

java  -jar  TokenConverter.jar  c:\temp\tokenfile2.sdtid  -o c:\temp\tokenfile2.txt

Resolution

Use the full file path when pointing to the text file.
