3.2 Creating an RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 User Object with Administrator Rights

You need to create an RSA Authentication Manager user that matches the RSA Authentication Manager Windows service account. Make sure the User object that the driver uses to authenticate with is not used for any other purpose.

  1. On the RSA Authentication Manager server, open the Services tool found in the Administrative Tools section of the Windows Control Panel.

  2. Select the RSA Auth Mgr Daemon service, then click Action > Properties.

  3. Click the Log On tab.

  4. Typically the service is set to log on as the Local System account. If the service is configured to use an account other than the Local System account, take note of the login used.

  5. Exit the service properties and Services dialog box.

  6. Start the RSA Authentication Manager Administration tool.

  7. Click User > Add User.

  8. Specify the First Name, Last Name, and Default Login, then click OK.

    If the service is using the Local System account for its service account, the Default Login should be set to SYSTEM. Otherwise, use the login noted in Step 4

    For example, First Name - Local, Last Name - System, Default Login - SYSTEM.

  9. Click User > Edit User.

  10. Select the Default Login field and deselect the Last Name field.

  11. Specify the service account login in the Default Login field, then click OK.

    For example, SYSTEM.

  12. In the Edit User dialog box, select Administrative Role, then click OK.

  13. Click OK to exit the Edit User dialog box.
