Extended Authentication Methods
Along with support for the traditional hardware, software and partner authenticators, RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 introduces an end-user authenticator that creates opportunities for flexible deployments and lowers management costs.
- On-demand Authenticator
The On-demand authenticator delivers tokencodes to users via Short Message Service (SMS) or e-mail, and requires no physical token to be assigned or software to be installed on a laptop of smart phone. On-Demand authenticators do not have expiration dates. - Built-in management support for global messaging vendor Clickatell
To send out large numbers of SMS messages to users, a relationship with an SMS aggregator must be established so messages can be routed to a carrier gateway. RSA has built in to the management console an interface to use with Clickatell, a worldwide mobile messaging company with access to over 600 networks in almost 200 countries. - Dynamic Seed Provisioning
Cryptographic Token Key Initiation Protocol is a client-server protocol that enables more rapid deployment of software tokens. Using CT-KIP, both the client and the server can generate a unique identifier - a seed file - that can then be used to authenticate the user to the server. No seed file needs to be sent over the network to the remote user.
Business Continuity Options
A Business Continuity Option makes even easier to leverage SecurID® into organizational planning for an unanticipated business disruptions.
- Business Continuity Option License
A Business Continuity Option (BCO) allows a customer to temporarily expand a server license for a period of time to meet the in-flux of large numbers of remote access users, such during a business disruption when everyone must work from home. A BCO license term is 3 years. Once purchased and added to the license page, the feature can be self initiated for up to six times during the license term. Each initiation is good for 60 days.
The Business Continuity Option expands the server license and makes available a pre-defined number of On-demand authenticators to be used to support mobile employees. Example, a customer purchases a 1,000 seat BCO license. Deployment is done on the fly with the Self Service module found in Credential Manager so users can on-board without overwhelming the IT help desk with requests.
Enhanced Operational Efficiencies
RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 includes a suite of requested features that make the solution easier to manage, lowers total cost of ownership and leverages existing IT resources.
- Native LDAP Support
Authentication Manager delivers true native LDAP support for direct integration with Sun One and Microsoft Active Directory. No synchronization. - Web-Based Management
The administration interface is browser-based and is zero-footprint, meaning no client software is required to be installed on the admin PCs. RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 can be remotely administered from any PC with a browser and Internet connection. - Delegated Multi-Level Administration
Multi-level delegated administration enables granular administrative access control down to a user/group & policy level. This maximizes administration resource investment and delivers increased security as it ensures that fewer individuals hold the "keys to the kingdom." - Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Plug-in
For customers already using MMC as their primary management utility, this plug-in provides consistency and added ease of use. Through MMC, admins can perform a variety of basic user and token management, such as assigning or disabling a token to a user or performing a PIN reset. - RADIUS Server
The included RADIUS server lowers costs over having to implement a third-party solution and is fully embedded into the management console so setup and on-going management is made easy. - RSA® Credential Manager
The replacement to RSA® Deployment Manager (Web Express), RSA Credential Manager is tightly coupled with the management interface of RSA Authentication Manager, requires no separate install, and delivers a range of functionality, including:
Self Service - A configurable Self Service console is available for end users to request a variety of services, including issuing On-demand tokencodes for emergency access. Workflow Provisioning - Admins can create processes by which requestors are approved and credentials are issued.
