Hi,

I have to have the ability in Java to distribute a software token (SecureID token), which has already been assigned to a user, using the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 API.

Here are two of my attempts to do so, without any success:

First attempt


LookupTokenCommand tokenCmd = new LookupTokenCommand();
tokenCmd.setSerialNumber(tokenSerialNumber);
tokenCmd.execute();
String tokenGuid = tokenCmd.getToken().getId();

String[] tokensGuids = new String[1];
tokensGuids[0] = tokenGuid;

AMTokenAttributeValueDTO[] attributes = new AMTokenAttributeValueDTO[2];
attributes[0] = new AMTokenAttributeValueDTO();
attributes[0].setTokenGUID(tokenGuid);
attributes[0].setId("DeviceSerialNumber");
attributes[0].setValue("blablabla");
attributes[1] = new AMTokenAttributeValueDTO();
attributes[1].setTokenGUID(tokenGuid);
attributes[1].setId("Nickname");
attributes[1].setValue("ran test");

DistributeSoftTokenRequest request = new DistributeSoftTokenRequest();
request.setSoftTokenProfileGuid(requiredProfile.getGuid());
request.setTokenGuids(tokensGuids);
request.setProtectedMethod(DistributeSoftTokenRequest.ST_PROTECTED_NONE);
request.setOutputMethod(DistributeSoftTokenRequest.ST_OUTPUT_ONE_PER_FILE);
request.setCopyProtected(true);
request.setRegenerateSeed(true);
request.setDeviceTypeGuid(requiredDeviceType.getGuid());
request.setDeviceType("Android");
request.setTokenAttrValueDTOs(attributes);

IssueSoftwareTokensCommand issueCmd = new IssueSoftwareTokensCommand(request);
issueCmd.execute(); // <- Here I get an error

Error message:

com.rsa.command.exception.InvalidArgumentException: Missing device type

Second attempt


LookupTokenCommand tokenCmd = new LookupTokenCommand();
tokenCmd.setSerialNumber(tokenSerialNumber);
tokenCmd.execute();
String tokenGuid = tokenCmd.getToken().getId();

String[] tokensGuids = new String[1];
tokensGuids[0] = tokenGuid;

IssueSoftwareTokensCommand issueCmd = new IssueSoftwareTokensCommand();
IssueSoftTokenRequest req = new IssueSoftTokenRequest();
req.setTokenGuids(tokensGuids);
req.setProtectedMethod(IssueSoftTokenRequestBase.ST_PROTECTED_NONE);
issueCmd.setRequest(req);
issueCmd.execute(); // <- Here I get an error

Error message:

com.rsa.command.exception.InvalidArgumentException: Missing device type

Thanks in advance for any help!

Correct Answer

Hi Ran - one thing I notice is no call to DistributeSoftTokenRequest.setDeviceTypePluginModuleName().

Also your code snippet does not show how your variable requiredDeviceType was obtained.

Here is some EXAMPLE code that has worked in the past. Hopefully you can incorporate the necessary pieces into your code:

// Get token GUID
LookupTokenCommand LTC = new LookupTokenCommand();
LTC.setSerialNumber("000132251664");
LTC.execute();

TokenDTO token= LTC.getToken();
String GUID = token.getId();

//Get software token profile GUID
ListSoftTokenProfilesCommand LSPC = new ListSoftTokenProfilesCommand();
LSPC.execute();
ListSoftTokenProfilesDTO ProfilesList = LSPC.getSoftTokenProfilesDTO();
SoftTokenProfileDTO[] Profiles = ProfilesList.getSoftTokenProfiles();
String ProfileName="Desktop_PC_5";
String ProfileGUID="";
for (SoftTokenProfileDTO Profile : Profiles)
{
if (Profile.getName().equals(ProfileName))
{
ProfileGUID=Profile.getGuid();
break;
}
}

// Get Token Device Type
LookupSoftTokenDeviceTypeCommand devType = new LookupSoftTokenDeviceTypeCommand();
devType.setSoftTokenDeviceTypeGuid(token.getSoftTokenDeviceTypeId());
devType.execute();
SoftTokenDeviceTypeDTO dt = devType.getSoftTokenDeviceTypeDTO();

// Distribute token
DistributeSoftTokenRequest req = new DistributeSoftTokenRequest();
req.setSoftTokenProfileGuid(ProfileGUID);
req.setTokenGuids(new String[] {GUID});
req.setProtectedMethod(IssueSoftTokenRequestBase.ST_PROTECTED_NONE);
req.setDeviceTypeGuid(token.getSoftTokenDeviceTypeId());
req.setDeviceTypePluginModuleName(dt.getPluginModuleName());
IssueSoftwareTokensCommand issueCmd = new IssueSoftwareTokensCommand(req);
issueCmd.execute(session);

Thank you Ted!

As you said, a calling to DistributeSoftTokenRequest.setDeviceTypePluginModuleName method was missing.

Once I've added it, it worked.

This was very helpful; however, can you also indicate the correct way to assign/set the "DeviceSerialNumber" and "Nickname" attributes against to token using the API. Performing the operation as indicated in the original posters example does appear to work.

Here is some example/test code that may help you craft something for your environment:

LookupTokenCommand lookup = new LookupTokenCommand();
lookup.setGuid(tokens[i].getGuid()); //tokens from a SearchTokensCommand execution
lookup.execute();
TokenDTO token = lookup.getToken();

AMTokenAttributeValueDTO[] attrs = token.getSoftTokenDeviceTypeAttrValueDTOs();
if (attrs.length == 0) System.out.println("No token attributes");
for (int j=0; j < attrs.length; j++)
{
LookupAMAttributeDefinitionCommand defLookup = new LookupAMAttributeDefinitionCommand();
defLookup.setGuid(attrs[j].getAttrDefGUID());
defLookup.execute();
AMAttributeDefinitionDTO def = defLookup.getDTO();
System.out.println("attribute name = " + def.getAttrName());
System.out.println("attribute value = " + attrs[j].getValue());

//test setting the DeviceSerialNumber
if (def.getAttrName().equals("DeviceSerialNumber"))
{
    System.out.println("Setting DeviceSerialNumber");
    attrs[j].setValue("somebody@example.com");
    UpdateTokenCommand update = new UpdateTokenCommand();
    update.setToken(token);
    update.execute();
}
}

Thanks a lot for this end-to-end example. This is clearly missing in the documentation!

We have the effect that the soft tokens get assigned an inexistent profile (file-based instead of QR Code based).

This means that users cannot activate these tokens in the App (and our servicedesk has a lot to do by hand).

Here is the function we use to distribute the tokens:

public void distributeSofttoken(String softtokensn) throws Exception {

TokenDTO dto = retrieveTokenDTO(softtokensn);
String[] tokens = new String[] { dto.getId() };

IssueSoftwareTokensCommand issueCmd = new IssueSoftwareTokensCommand();

DistributeSoftTokenRequest request = new DistributeSoftTokenRequest();
request.setTokenGuids(tokens);
request.setSoftTokenProfileGuid(dto.getSoftTokenProfileId());
request.setDeviceTypePluginModuleName(getSofttokenDeviceTypeName(dto
.getSoftTokenDeviceTypeId()));

issueCmd.setRequest(request);
issueCmd.execute();
}

If I am right, the only missing thing is

req.setProtectedMethod(IssueSoftTokenRequestBase.ST_PROTECTED_NONE);

What difference will this line of code make?

Best
