Hi Everyone,
As of today, we’ve finished implementing two-factor authentication in Passwordstate V6, using RSA’s SecurID solution. Once we have a beta of Version 6 available, we’ll be asking for testers of this functionality, as we’ve only been able to test using RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 SP4 Patch 22 – the Authentication Agent library we’re using is meant to be compatible with Authentication Manager 6.x, 7.x and the upcoming 8.x – due for release later this month.
Configuring Passwordstate to use SecurID is a fairly simple process, and we’ve written up specific documentation to assist customers with the initial configuration. Once done, you will be able to choose anyone of the following options:
- Secure access to Passwordstate using SecurID Authentication – this is for both installs of either Active Directory authentication, or forms based authentication
- Secure access to Passwordstate using both AD and SecurID Authentication – obviously only for AD users
- Secure access to Password Lists using SecurID Authentication
We’ve also added a new option called ‘If one of the SecurID Authentication options are selected, auto-populate the UserID field based on the current logged in user – domain suffix will be dropped if using Active Directory version of Passwordstate’. If your Passwordstate UserID’s are the same format as your SecurID User ID’s, then this makes it a little quicker to authenticate.
Now for some screenshots:

We hope you like this feature when version 6 is available.
