4 User Options for Managing Tokens and
Devices
This chapter provides an overview of how users can manage tokens stored on their
hard drive or on another supported device plug-in. Use the information in this chapter
to familiarize yourself with the RSA SecurID Software Token (the SecurID desktop
application) user interface.
From the application user interface, users can:
• Import tokens
• Change a token name
• Select a token if multiple tokens have been imported
• Set a password to protect tokens stored on the local hard drive
• Set a password or enter other credentials to protect tokens stored on a supported
third-party device
• View information about a token
• View information about installed token storage devices
• Delete a token
• Obtain the next tokencode
Importing Tokens
RSA provides the following mechanisms for importing tokens to the application:
• (Windows only) Import a token automatically using CT-KIP. (The administrator
must have set the ActivationCode policy to 1 and the CtkipUrl policy to the URL
of the CT-KIP server.)
• Import a token from the web (CT-KIP) using the SecurID desktop application.
• Import a token from an e-mail attachment.
• Import a token automatically from a default directory.
• Import a token from a non-default directory.
When importing a token, the user is prompted to select the device that will store the
token if more than one supported device plug-in is installed (for example, a biometric
device and the local hard drive) and you did not bind the token to a device.
