3485.0. "simple config for SecurID" by MEO78A::BARNHOORN (Barney to his friends) Wed Apr 02 1997 01:33

I'm after the basic commands to set up a DS900TM, for VT access, to use
SecurIDs.



     VT-----D     |
            S     |
     VT-----9     |-----Host (lat)
            0     |
            0=====|-----Host (lat)
            T     |
            M     |-SecurID/Server (NT)
                  |


The SecurID server has been set up (and working) on the LAN,  ip name is
higgins.tabcorp.com.au and is also its SecurID name.

So on the DS900TM what do I define as the:

	realm-name?
	access ?
	permissions ?
	what do  I have to set on the ports?


thanks

Mark

RE: .0

I presume you have read the relevant section of the DNAS Management Guide
(Managing SecurID) and still have questions.

The basic DECserver configuration for SecurID is:

	Local> change securid realm <foo> host <bar>

The realm name <foo> can be anything you want (within reason) and the host
name <bar> is the IP address or domain name (if DNS is also configured) of
your SecurID ACE/Server host.

If your version of the ACE/Server is using SecurID proprietary encryption,
instead of DES encryption, then you also need to specify:

	Local> change securid realm <foo> encoding proprietary

The DECserver _must_ have a DNS name registered for it's IP address.  The
ACE/Server requires this.  The DECserver must be registered with the ACE/Server
as a client of type "comm server".  The ACE/Server client entry for the 
DECserver must be set to "no secret assigned" so that the ACE/Server will
assign one after the first sucessful authentication.  All this info should be
in the SecurID ACE/Server management documentation.

To obtain authentication on a port, for interactive (VT) use:

	Local> define port <n> authentication enable

> So on the DS900TM what do I define as the:

What you choose.

>	access ?

I suggest either "NONE", which means do whatever the port characteristics 
indicate, or "LOCAL" which means give the user a "Local>" prompt.

>	permissions ?

For interactive use (Telnet, LAT) without callback, the defaults are fine.

>	what do  I have to set on the ports?

See above.

Dave
