14 2: Installing the Application
The web browser plug-in is a custom feature of the desktop application installation
program. To install a web browser plug-in for Windows, see “Install the Application
Using the InstallShield Program” on page 19.
Configuration of the Web Agent
The web browser plug-in feature works with the RSA Authentication Agent for Web.
The Authentication Agent for Web includes template pages—HTML pages containing
HTML and JavaScript that allow authentication using the web browser plug-in. By
default, the Authentication Agent for Web is configured to work with the web browser
plug-in for Internet Explorer. If you want to use the web browser plug-in for Mozilla
Firefox, you must replace the template pages in your existing Authentication Agent
for Web installation with new template pages that support the plug-in for Firefox. The
new template pages have been qualified with RSA Authentication Agent for Web for
Internet Information Services, versions 5.3 and 7.0.
You can download the new template pages from h
ttp://rsa.com/node.aspx?id=3663.
The download package includes documentation.
Using a Connected RSA SecurID 800 Authenticator (Windows Only)
You can use an RSA SecurID 800 authenticator (SecurID 800) connected to a USB
port with RSA SecurID Software Token for Windows for automatic tokencode
retrieval by a VPN client application. You can also use a connected SecurID 800 with
the optional Internet Explorer and Firefox web browser plug-ins for automatic
tokencode retrieval by web resources that are protected by RSA SecurID.
To use a connected SecurID 800 with the SecurID desktop application, you must
install both of the following:
• RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1. This application automatically installs the
RSA Hardware Authenticator Plug-In 4.1 for the SecurID 800.
• RSA Smart Card Middleware 3.5. The Hardware Authenticator Plug-In allows
Middleware and the desktop application to communicate with the SecurID 800.
You can install the Middleware from the RSA Authentication Client 3.5 product kit at
https://knowledge.rsasecurity.com/scolcms/sets.aspx?product=hardware_token
&_v=download. To install Middleware, follow the instructions in the
RSA Authentication Client 3.5 Installation and Administration Guide.
Optionally, you can install both the Middleware and RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1
for Windows from the RSA Authentication Client 3.5 product kit.
If the SecurID 800 is the only token used with the desktop application, it is
automatically the active token (the token from which tokencodes are retrieved).
However, if software tokens have been imported to the desktop application, the
SecurID 800 does not become the active token until the user opens the application and
selects the SecurID 800 serial number (or nickname) from the list of tokens. For
details, see the SecurID desktop application Help.
Note: You cannot import software tokens to a SecurID 800. Only the built-in token
can be used to generate tokencodes.
