RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 Quick Start 1 Introduction Welcome to RSA SecurID Software Token (the SecurID desktop application), authentication software that allows you to access resources protected by RSA SecurID. A software token generates a new 6- or 8-digit random number, or tokencode, at regular intervals, typically every 60 seconds. This tokencode is your one-time password (OTP). You enter OTP values, along with other security information, to verify your identity when you authenticate to a protected resource, such as a VPN client application. Getting Started Important: To install the application, you must have administrator privileges on your computer. Otherwise, the software will have to be installed by a user with administrator privileges. Perform the following steps, as described in this document, to get started with the SecurID desktop application: 1. Install the SecurID desktop application. on your Windows computer or Mac OS X computer. 2. Import a software token, as directed by your administrator. 3. Connect to your VPN client or another protected resource, and complete your first RSA SecurID authentication. Install the Application on Windows 1. Double-click RSASecurIDToken410.msi. 2. On the Welcome screen, click Next. 3. On the Place of Purchase screen, select the region where your company ordered the software, and click Next. 4. In the License Agreement screen, read the license agreement, and select I accept the terms in the license agreement. Click Next. 5. On the Setup Type screen, do one of the following: To install the application to the default location without installing a web browser plug-in, select Typical, click Next, and click Install. When the installation is complete, click Finish. To install a web browser plug-in, or to install the application to a location other than the default, select Custom. The Custom Setup screen is displayed. 6. Do one of the following: To install the application to a directory other than the default, click Change. Change the destination directory, and click OK. To install a web browser plug-in, click Browser Plug-Ins, and select the plug-in that you want to install. Select This feature will be installed on local hard drive. 7. On the Ready to Install the Program screen, click Install. 8. When the installation is complete, click Finish. You do not need to restart your system. Install the Application on Mac OS X 1. On the Dock, click the Downloads icon. 2. Click RSASecurIDToken410.dmg. The Finder opens and displays the RSA SecurID Software Token installer. 3. Double-click RSASecurIDSoftwareToken410.mpkg. 4. When prompted whether you want to continue, click Continue. 5. On the Welcome screen, click Continue. 6. On the Software License Agreement screen, do one of the following: Use the scroll bar to read the license agreement. To print the license agreement, click Print. To save the license agreement to a file, click Save. 7. Click Continue. A license agreement dialog box opens. 8. To read the license agreement if you did not do so previously, click Read License. When you are ready to continue installing the software, click Agree. 9. Do one of the following: To perform a standard installation, click Install. To install the application and the web browser plug-in, click Customize, and select Web Browser Plug-In. Click Install. A password dialog box opens. Your administrator user name is displayed in the Name field. 10. In the Password field, enter your administrator password, and click OK. The software is installed, and the Summary screen displays a success message. 11. Click Close. 12. To delete the installation files, drag the mounted image (“RSA SecurID”) to the Trash, and then drag RSASecurIDToken410.dmg to the Trash. Start the Application To start the application on Windows: Click Start > Programs > RSA > RSA SecurID Token > RSA SecurID Token. To start the application on Mac OS X: Do one of the following: Go to Applications, and double-click SecurID. Drag the SecurID icon onto the Dock, and click the icon.
