Configuring a SecurID AAA server in APM

Configure a SecurID AAA server for Access Policy Manager (APM) to request RSA SecurID authentication from an RSA Manager authentication server.
  1. On the Main tab, click
    Access
    Authentication
    .
    The Authentication screen opens.
  2. On the menu bar, click
    AAA Servers By Type
    , and select
    SecurID
    .
    The SecurID screen opens and displays the servers list.
  3. Click
    Create
    .
    The New Server properties screen opens.
  4. In the
    Name
    field, type a unique name for the authentication server.
  5. In the Configuration area, for the
    Agent Host IP Address (must match the IP address in SecurID Configuration File)
    setting, select an option as appropriate:
    • Select from Self IP List
      : Choose this when there is no NAT device between APM and the RSA Authentication Manager. Select an IP from the list of those configured on the BIG-IP system (in the Network area of the Configuration utility).
    • Other
      : Choose this when there is a NAT device in the network path between Access Policy Manager and the RSA Authentication Manager server. If selected, type the address as translated by the NAT device.
    This setting does not change the source IP address of the packets that are sent to the RSA SecurID server. (Layer 3 source addresses remain unchanged.) The agent host IP address is used only in Layer 7 (application layer) information that is sent to the RSA SecurID server.
  6. For the
    SecurID Configuration File
    setting, browse to upload the
    sdconf.rec
    file.
    Consult your RSA Authentication Manager administrator to generate this file for you.
  7. Click
    Finished
    .
    The new server displays on the list.
This adds a new RSA SecurID server to the AAA Servers list.
