Issue/Introduction

Encryption Management Server supports RSA Authentication Manager.

To configure support for RSA Authentication Manager, you export the sdconf.rec file from RSA Authentication Manager and import it into Encryption Management Server by navigating to System / Administrators in the administration console and clicking on the SecurID Authentication button.

However, there is no facility to import the sdopts.rec file.

 

Environment

Encryption Management Server 3.4 and above.

Resolution

Encryption Management Server does not support the use of an sdopts.rec file.

If you ssh to Encryption Management Server you will be able to edit the /etc/ovid/rsa_api.properties file and this contains the following settings:

SDOPTS_TYPE=FILE
SDOPTS_LOC=

Please do not scp an sdopts.rec file to Encryption Management Server and modify the SDOPTS_LOC setting to point to it.
