RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 Administrator’s Guide

18 2: Installing the Application

Token Database Copy Protection

RSA SecurID Software Token for Windows uses the following data protection

mechanisms to tie the token database to a specific computer:

• Binding the database to the computer’s primary hard disk drive

• Implementing the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI)

These mechanisms ensure that an intruder cannot move the token database to another

computer and access the tokens.

If you replace a hard disk drive on a computer, the token database installed on that

computer cannot be recovered, and you must issue new tokens to users of that

computer. If you back up users’ hard disk drives on a daily basis, and you are

concerned about possibly having to replace hard disk drives, you can preserve users’

software tokens by disabling copy protection when you install the SecurID desktop

application. To do so, you must install the application from the command line and set

the SETCOPYPROTECTION property to FALSE. This disables binding the database

to the hard disk drive on all computers on which you install the application. (For a

command example, see “Command Line Examples

” on page 25.)

Even if you disable copy protection, the database is still protected by DPAPI. You can

further protect the database by having the user set a device password, as described in

“Set a Device Password

” on page 74.

Installing RSA SecurID Software Token for Windows

RSA SecurID Software Token for Windows uses a Windows Installer MSI file. The

MSI file contains a database of information on the elements of the installation,

uninstallation, and upgrades for the application and its components. If you do not need

to make changes to the product installation, you can double-click the MSI file to start

an interactive installation. If you need to make changes to the installation, you must

invoke the MSI file from the command line, specifying the features and properties that

you want to install.

Note: RSA recommends that you set any customization policies before you install the

application. For more information, see “Customizing the Application” on page 83.
