RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 Administrator’s Guide
3: Provisioning Software Tokens 49
The following table lists the provisioning steps and the following sections describe
each step.
Device Definition Files
Software tokens issued using RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 or RSA SecurID
Appliance 3.0 must be associated with a device definition file. This is an XML file
that specifies the supported capabilities and attributes of tokens used with a specific
software token application. The device definition file specifies the supported
tokencode length, type, and duration, as well as the attributes that you can use to bind
a software token to a device attribute.
RSA provides the following device definition files for RSA SecurID Software Token
4.1 in the /def folder of the installation kit for your platform:
• Desktop-Windows-4.x-swtd.xml
• Desktop-Mac-4.x-swtd.xml.
Add the Device Definition File
Note: If you used the desktop device definition file with RSA SecurID Software
Token 4.0, you do not need to install the version 4.x file. You can continue to use the
version 4.0 file with RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1.
Before you issue software tokens to use with the SecurID desktop application, you
must add the device definition file to RSA Authentication Manager 7.1. This adds the
Desktop PC 4.x or Desktop Mac 4.x entry to the Software Token Device Type
drop-down list on the Edit Token page. When you select the entry from the device
type list, the page displays the software token attributes that you can configure.
To add the device definition file:
1. Save the device definition file provided in the installation kit for your platform to
a folder on your computer.
2. In the RSA Security Console, click Authentication > Software Token Device
Types > Import Token Device Type.
3. Click Browse to locate the desktop device definition file for your platform. Select
the file, and click Submit.
Task Reference
1. Add the desktop device definition file
to the Authentication Manager server.
