that is logging in.
If the client machine uses an onboard video controller and experiences video problems, be sure the
BIOS is updated to the latest version.
RSA SecurID login
When an RSA SecurID external authentication service has been added to the DSView 3 software,
the login credentials include a username and a passcode. The passcode includes a PIN and an RSA
SecurID tokencode. The login request is sent to the RSA Authentication Manager. Depending on
the user configuration and state on the RSA Authentication Manager, the user may be prompted for
a second successive tokencode.
The user configuration also specifies how the 4-6 digit PIN will be generated:
• User defined - the user must enter a PIN
• System generated - the user cannot enter a PIN; it must be generated by the RSA server
• User selectable - the user may choose to enter a PIN or allow the RSA server to generate it
If a PIN has not yet been assigned to the user or if security polity requires a PIN change, the user
will be prompted accordingly. If the RSA server generates the PIN, the user will be given a brief
interval to memorize it.
